Title: bocote/ osage one piece recurve
Post by: sulphur on March 01, 2009, 05:53:00 PM

this is an OMC design one piece recurve.  The handle is more of a longbow style grip.  58#@28".  I am still tweeking this design, i am still way overweight.  The limbs are almost 1 5/8 wide at the fades.  those narrow limbs make it one fast shooter.  I am really digging this design, makes one heck of a fast bow.  No loss in the stability dept. either.  hope everyone like it.
