Title: reflex/deflex bamboo-osage
Post by: DirtyDan on August 22, 2008, 07:33:00 PM
I built this bow for one of my left-handed friends.  It is 66" 54# @ 28". It is rather severely reflex/deflexed and the limbs never actually bend past straight, but without fiberglass, this is a very fast bow.  500 grain arrow 187 fps on the chrono.  I airbrushed the back to look like a Fender guitar. Tulipwood riser and tip overlays.  (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/spiermo/Robert%20BBO%20bow/robertsbbofulllength.jpg) (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/spiermo/Robert%20BBO%20bow/rdprofilebbo.jpg) (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/spiermo/Robert%20BBO%20bow/bbordfulldraw.jpg) (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/spiermo/Robert%20BBO%20bow/fullbellybbo.jpg) (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/spiermo/Robert%20BBO%20bow/bbohandle.jpg)
