Title: Rawhide Juniper Longbow
Post by: okie64 on December 26, 2011, 10:00:00 AM
This is one I've been workin on off and on during deer season. The juniper was a gift from Greg in Malad and this was my first time workin with it so I kept it simple. It is a pleasure to work with and really holds reflex well. It is 68" ntn and pulls 50# at 28" and still holds 1.5" of reflex. It kinda surprised me at how hard it flings an arrow. Tips are purpleheart and the handlewrap is hemp cordage. Thanks for lookin.
