Blue Tongued Skink Elm Bow

DanaM · March 26, 2011, 07:27:00 PM

Ha got yer attention eh My buddy Jesse sent me this stave almost floor tillered, I decided to finish it and send it back. Elm stave, rat snake(I think) backed, blue tongued skink(most likely a first) grip, mescal bean root tip overlays,
beaver tail strike plate, 55#@28", FF string. I'm only drawing the bow about 24" in the pictures, bad shoulder and can't handle the weight Jesse is a good Christian so I burned a fish in the handle along with his name. Hope ya all like it eh

Full draw well almost 24" is the best I could do.

That's a nice stick Dana, very nice! I'm kinda liking those rat snake skins, that's the second bow I've seen with rat snake on them and I can honestly say that I like those just as much or maybe even a tad more than any diamondbacks I've seen on a bow.

I've got a pair of diamond backs tucked away, just waiting on the right bow to put them on.

How's it shoot?
