Title: Grandson's Christmas presant.
Post by: BenBow on December 18, 2010, 03:29:00 PM

Built this for my grandson's Christmas present. It's a 3-piece takedown bow with the limb attachment bolts coming in from the riser into hidden t-bolts mounted in the limbs. To my eye it gives a cleaner line than the typical setup when the limb bolts stick above the limbs.The riser is cocobolo sandwiched between redheart. The white on the back side is bison rib bone and the limb tip is bison horn. The limbs have been skinned with timber rattlesnake. It's 60 inches nock to nock and 48 lbs at 28". Shoots pretty good. I did keep the riser beefy just because I know my grandson or maybe I just remember myself at that age. Everything on this was overbuilt to take some abuse. The lams are all maple basketball court flooring.

Beautiful bow really like the bison horn and rib bone overlays.  Fortunate to have snow for the pictures really sets the bow off.
