Talondale, yes I did and posted a thread a couple of months back, showing a few other bows as well, can't quite remember the title.


thanks James   :D

Those give new meaning to reflex deflex.lol!jonesy

Awesome as always Manny. Excellent.

Bernie you better bring that thing to ATAR next month.I promise not to shoot it but I do want to see and touch it just a little.    Of course I still want to see the 33" test on the bow you built.  

James, if it reaches "The Mainland" in time, you can count on me bringing it to ATAR in July - as long as you keep "Peachey" and his 33" draw away from, both, my wood lam that I built, as well as  this Guava from Manny - LOL. They'll stress test just fine at my 26 to 27(on a good day) inch draw.  

OK I promise to tie Peachy's hands or something then. :)That boy sure can stretch the kinks out of a bow!I thought he was going to pull my little Morrison apart at Hickory.      

Oh, Nooooooooooo!   :eek:

Manny, I found   it!   So how did you like the character of osage compared to guava?

To be honest with you Talondale without a crono I can't tell the difference between the 2, hunted with both about a dozen times each and they seem equally rugged, only difference I've noticed is a little more handshock in the Osage.


bottom line I'm not going out of my way to try aquire Osage, ...guava does what I need it to do in a hunting bow, pass tru in animals      and taking the punishment of hunting conditions.

If you check PRIMITIVE ARCHER site the southern comunity bow was made from one of my staves, osage bowyers tillered it, and had real nice things to say about how hard the bow was shooting      

BERNIE's bow

GHOST DOG's bow

Y'all know were else these beautiful Full Draw pics will appear, right? I'm starting out an unbelievable TBD Page 13 Today! Lookin Goooo-oood, Manny!

I still find it hard to believe that beautiful bow is soon going to be mine! I am so blessed. They both are beautiful bows - but I am a "leetle bit" prejudiced towards mine, I must admit   :D  .

Bernie, you are a lucky man!  

F-Manny

This is true, F-Manny!  

I think the bow is in flight by now  

Bless your heart, Manny - I almost swallowed my dentures when I read that - now I'm really on needles and pins!!!
