Title: Back to Trad Gang
Post by: Swissbow on August 10, 2016, 04:14:00 PM

Hi guys,
I've been inactive here on TradGang for the last two years for some personal reasons. During that period I never completely stopped building bows, but now I'm back for good.

Here are some pictures of my latest work...

I will add some strung up and full draw pics as soon as I get some decent ones.

Welcome back Andy. From the looks of that beautiful bow I'd say you've been keeping busy.

Very nice and welcome back.
Heck breazy, I've cut them into 4 or 5 pieces already. Just depends on how mad I got when they broke.

I promised you a full draw shot, so here it comes. It feels kinda strange though to shoot a bow the wrong way round...

Hi Kenny I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's nice to draw and very quiet when shooting. There's no noticeably difference to a one piece.
