Re: Pictures of bows you've built
Those look great! What's the specs?
Re: Pictures of bows you've built
Thanks bjorn
Left bow
62 " R/D tri lam Mid lam ash, belly IPE
Right bow
58" R/D Quad lam Bubina,IPE Actionboo.
Missed weight so I added the Actionboo on the belly. Didn't work the way I'd hoped. Aboo takes a lot of set. Lost close to 1" reflex but a good shooter just the same

Hi Ted,
Thats big black tanned. Didn't rug him. I still think about how far the bear would have rolled if that little sapling hadn't been there. The steepest, most beatifull bear country I've had the good fortune to hunt. You made short work of getting that bear out of that hole. I remember following you up and being VERY thankfull you were years younger and strongerthan me.
Might want to pick her dry year and have someone take out the "angry" sow.

Like to listen to that call !!Raptor wrote: You would have got a kick on the radio calls I get when the sow runs up to the bottom of the tree, looks up and stands up to growl and roar! Boy does that get them excited.
I have a friend named John hunting with me the 3rd week , he does not believe me but he will
Was cooking/guiding for Tommy boy last year with a lot of first timers in camp but didn't get any good stories like that
Are bjorn and I the only ones that have built a bow?
How about some pic's guys?
Re: Pictures of bows you've built
This is a glass recurve I built that turned out 60#@28". It is a modern redesign of the original Red Wing Hunters. It is a great shooter. Bubinga riser with stripes of bol. rosewood and myrtlewood, limb veneers are matching bol. rosewood, tips are gaboon ebony.
