This was my first attempt at building a Selfbow using Osage. It was a pleasure to work with and a learning process. I watched videos and consulted a good friend who's built many. I made mistakes but was able to get a bow that shoots

She's 62" long and 42# at my 26" draw and hits right where I'm looking with minimal hand shock 
Thanks gang!
Looking forward to the IBO shoot Mr Pat B 

Very nice bud! Y'all ring chasers have my deepest respect. Appears it fell in real close to what you may have been looking for. Those pigs have something new to worry about now!

Nice job Corey!! 

Real nice work.  Hope it takes some game for you.

That's a beauty

Great work!  You'll find that you will become addicted to working with osage 

Looking forward to seeing you shoot that thing soon bud! 

Somebody been studying HH customs!

Nice bow.

He'll be seeing more that that come Thursday! Super will be on the Arvin line!

Corey, you got me motivated to give that a shot. I've been wanting to try it.

Was out shootin Kenny thru Super. Kenny is my Arrow. I may shoot whole thing just with him/her/it?
Kenny is a Khan 30" and when hes on a roll , look out! Had him for years. Shot entire TAS 2020. Kenny took Silver but had Gold in his teeth.

You c'mon the Selfbow men the bigger the Party. We all be of one blood!

HH~

I love Osage!  Nice looking self bow you made there sir!
