Title: All for the kids......
Post by: critman on October 06, 2013, 12:26:00 AM
A few pics of the bows I made for our church youth group to raffle off to fund a mission trip they make every year. These are 48" hickory ranging from 15#-27# different handles, rests, etc.

This is another 48" and a tiny 30". Can't start them too young!

And just for fun...one for my little girl, Lulu (dad's nickname for her) 51" 30#@24 BBH
-hickory and osage handle. Started out as a bow for my son but...little to heavy on the belt sander and now a 30 pounder. Far from perfect but she loved it. 'Nuff said.
