My first bow build. update

[DeerBacon]

First off, I would like to say thanks to all the bowyers valuable posts and build a longs. It helped a lot on my first build. As the 66" take down longbow is nearing completion, the more excited I get about adding it to my arsenal. Also torn between finishing it or getting in my tree stand. The woods are Ziricote and Myrtle with black phenolic. weighing in at 45lbs. @ 28.

It should be against the law to make such a fine bow on your first try.  That is really cool!  Good job.

I agree, Sam! My first was atrocious! Deer bacon, that is a great looking bow!      
I'll like to session you top it!

[Trux Turning]

Wow that's a beauty!!

[Crooked Stic]

Looks pretty darn good from here.

[DeerBacon]

Thanks guys. Its not done but I'm already picking out woods for another. I hope to finish it this week. Need to finish my homemade footed arrows for it too. All my other arrows are for 55# plus bows.

Really good looking bow, judging from the profile I bet she is going to be quick.  Nice job.

[NYArrow]

Wow thats a sweet 1st bow! I hope my 20th turns out that nice!

[inksoup]

no no no... you can't do such a pretty bow for the first trial.

or ..

you already did...  :D

[DeerBacon]

Got some finish on her. Named it the Bloodhound because my bloodhound helped put the first ding on it         . Not mad at my dog cause you cant keep a bow mint unless you hang it on the wall. Shoots smooth and zips a arrow well for a low # bow.
