Title: Zachs first bow..
Post by: Robertfishes on April 15, 2013, 08:40:00 PM
Last fall I got an e-mail from Zach a High School senior wanting to build a bow for his senior project..we glued it up in Feb 2013 and finished it today..even though it was after 5pm it was hot so we went to a local indoor range to shoot his new bow. 66" D/R longbow, 43# @ 28" (he pulls 29" to 30") amberboo tapers, figured bubinga veneers, Bubinga Riser with black and red beauty stripes...       (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/zachsbow4-13a_zps8695e743.jpg) (http://s596.photobucket.com/user/Robertfishes/media/zachsbow4-13a_zps8695e743.jpg.html)     (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/zachsbow4-13_zps0490dc29.jpg) (http://s596.photobucket.com/user/Robertfishes/media/zachsbow4-13_zps0490dc29.jpg.html)    (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/zachsbow4-13b_zpsf9fb0ba7.jpg) (http://s596.photobucket.com/user/Robertfishes/media/zachsbow4-13b_zpsf9fb0ba7.jpg.html)

Thanks Guys, I talked to Zach yesterday he has been shooting it and is quickly developing his bow muscles.. he has a lot going on with high School graduation, the Prom and starting College all on his plate. He needs to find a Trad friendly archery club in Tallahassee near the FSU campus. Not sure how much time he will have to shoot since he will be busy with school.
