Title: new 64'' hybrid.
Post by: bigbob2 on September 19, 2013, 07:11:00 PM
Few shots here of new bow i 've made using Action wood for first time. not sure of its appeal but do admit it's good to work with.

Strung profile . 64'' NTN and 60# at 28''. Haven't put it through my Chrono yet but it does put an arrow out there.

Cool bow Bob! I must say though I like those australian timbers more than actionwood, but I like the design alot. Actually I think the zebrano veneers look relly good with the actionwood. I never would have thought so but they do work well together!

I like that a lot Bob.  Really like your handle shapes.  I'm thinking of trying something like that on my next hybrid.  Something about that sweep instead of a locator type grip - I just like the looks of it better.  Is that artificial snake on the back?  What did you use for glass under it?  Black?

Never mind on the snake.  Just saw your caption.    :knothead:

I think the light arch goes very well with the actionwood colors. Nice work!

Thanks guys! Sorry about the late response as I've been away all weekend at a bowhunters seminar concerning most aspects of hunting over here.
