First try at a self bow. Started bow at O-Jam '09. It pulls 60# @ 28". A little to heavy for me so I am taking it to Mo-Jam to lighten it up to about 51# to 54#. after that I will apply more Tru-oil and a hand wrap and its ready for bow season!!

Very nice for your first bow or your 20th. Is that a turkey spur arrow rest and how well does it work. Looks like it might bind the arrow a little.
Keep the wind in your face and the sun at your back.

Thanks guys! The arrow rest is the tip of antler and the arrow just sits on top, haven't had any problems with binding. It has been a fun project, can't wait to start another!!

Man, there must be some good tutoring at mo-jam.  Every bow that comes out of there and tenn shoot looks good.

Great job! It looks great and an excellent finish!

Nice bow! Great job!!. A leather grip will really finish it off nice.

Beautiful bow! My only suggestion is to change your arrow rest a little so it won't trap the arrow next to your riser. With selfbows an arrow needs to bend outward during paradox and your antler tip may prevent this.

Yeah, wrap the handle with some "White Man's" leather....ductape! Good job and Good shootin, Steve.
