Post by: Buck Buckley on August 05, 2012, 01:40:00 PM

All I need to do is spray it, still waiting on the finish to come in. The bow is 62" tip to tip a R/D longbow,Made a form similar to the Bamboo backed bows we make, It draws 50lbs at 28", The riser is Chechan with white fenolic for an accent.Here are a few pics.

Very nice, Buck. I just received a similar bow in the bow trade. Looks like that one will shoot smooth as well.
