76#s? Gads!

Simple is good!

Nice job Jamie. You're getting really good at making the wood flow in the transition areas.

Jerry Jeffer · March 15, 2007, 08:56:00 PM

pretty cool. First time I've seen a rest like that. 76# I won't go there.

Very nice!

the rest is a cheap nock off of a ferrets floppy, but cut in half! :rolleyes:
the quiver top is an even cheaper nock off of a solo stalker!

i hunted with this style of simple quiver all season. it works 10 times better than it looks.
i just need to make a final draft of the quiver. something nicer and something i can be proud of.
this is an ok design but it would be much better if the leather was doubled up and stiched along the seams.
next one ill take my time on. i just kept it very simple just like the rest of the bow.

Fine lookin bow!Just make sure you clean up the mess you made from spilling that that Barney cup or the Mrs. gonna tan your hide with that bow.Seriously though, real nice looking bow.Hope you dont mind a few questions when I try building my first.

Looks great. I really like that quiver idea.

mich-mtnman · March 15, 2007, 11:38:00 PM

i deffinatly didnt re-create the wheel but, that little sucker sho is a fine arra-grabbin-piece-o-scrap-hide!

Nice, Mich-mtman.
Looks like a serious piece of work.

I like the 300# leaf idea.
You ain't big. I had a friend that could just stand in an open field and deer thought he was a haybale.

its a non hunting beagle-basset.
might as well have a billygoat fer a pet...
all she does is eat and poop "[dntthnk]"

That's a real beauty! If it was 20# lighter, I'd try to talk ya out of it.

I like the quiver, too. I have a single broadhead cover like that, but now I gotta make one of those bottom grippers. Neat!

Show us the quiver in action!
