Title: New osage selfbow
Post by: Ari_Bonn on December 22, 2019, 11:34:31 PM
Just got my new Osage self bow. lots of character and a natural center shot. bottom limb has reflex so looks straight but bends even when drawn. stave had a twist but was tillered around so it has a natural center shot for a RH shooter. riser has african blackwood and horn tips. 52#@ 26 68" based off a eastern woodland "sudbury bow" used by the first nations.

no   grumpy bear archery up here in Manitoba.    Picture of the bowyer with it at full.    Ive been advised to let it settle into my climate so   I havn't shot it yet.

Beautiful tiller and good advise from the builder. Even after a short waiting time I would slowly and gradually exercise it out to full draw before snatching it back to full draw. Very nice selfbow.  :thumbsup:
