76#s? Gads!
Simple is good!
Nice job Jamie. You're getting really good at making the wood flow in the transition areas.

the rest is a cheap nock off of a ferrets floppy, but cut in half! :rolleyes:
the quiver top is an even cheaper nock off of a solo stalker! :bigsmyl:
i hunted with this style of simple quiver all season. it works 10 times better than it looks.
i just need to make a final draft of the quiver. something nicer and something i can be proud of.
this is an ok design but it would be much better if the leather was doubled up and stiched along the seams.
next one ill take my time on. i just kept it very simple just like the rest of the bow.

Nice, Mich-mtman.
Looks like a serious piece of work.
I like the 300# leaf idea.
You ain't big. I had a friend that could just stand in an open field and deer thought he was a haybale. :bigsmyl:

That's a real beauty! If it was 20# lighter, I'd try to talk ya out of it.
I like the quiver, too. I have a single broadhead cover like that, but now I gotta make one of those bottom grippers. Neat!

scattershot, i have more in the making if you want one let me know, maybe we could do a trade.
osage tree, leftover boo flooring.
i wanted to show people it isnt as bad as material as one would think. i realy dont like multiple lam glue ups...just a backing and a belly, and i work the boo just like i would work wood. lams of flooring are flimsy at best....glue one into reflex with a good back..now ya got a bow!
