Title: Big thanks for help on 1st bbo
Post by: Mad Dog on October 14, 2014, 09:58:00 PM

Thanks to everyone on here for tips and ideas to help me with my 1st BBO bow.

I gotta thank Roy from Pa from his insprirational conversation that went something like "don't be chicken chit and get building". That got me moving.

Thanks to Dean Torges for letting me stop by and purchase a book and give me feedback on how I was coming along.

Thanks to Tom Turgeon for the very informative, keep it simple type of class.

Lastly thanks Pat B, bowjunkie, and takefive for their take on tillering. It came out pretty smooth shooting for my first attempt.

The stats, 63" ntn, 51# @ 27" straight limbed Torges style, antler rest, walnut tips.

Without further ado here's the pics

Thanks for the comments guys.
Roy I'm watching your sweet looking newest trilam build, cause I still got the materials from Kenny teasing me to make a trilam. Maybe after deer season.
