I’m hoping to make a few more by then, but I hope to use one of them to take a bear. Hopefully I will deer hunt with one this year.

Are those static tips, Rick?

Some of the curve will probably come out of it as I finish the tiller.

Pretty good for a first attempt!

Although they do look like static tips. I’m definitely still in the experimental stages so far.

Awesome! you guys got me wanting to scratch out a bow myself. Next time I got to OK im going to try and find a suitable osage to harvest some staves from.

Got a string on it and I need to work on the outside half of the right limb and take some of the whole limb on the left side. It is scaling ad 34 lbs at 22 inches so I need to take it slow.
