Title: My 2015 Hunting Bow
Post by: David Flanrey on September 13, 2015, 10:01:00 AM

It has been a while since I posted any new bows so thought I'd post a couple of my hunting bow for this year.

Built myself a 64" NTN three piece longbow.  Limbs are Kenny M design and riser is mine.  It is 55# at 26 1/2".

Limbs are zebra with walnut cores and riser is wenge and black limba.

Ha Ha this is the longest bow I have ever built or shot.  Shoots pretty good I think.  

Thanks for the limb design Kenny!!

Thanks guys.  Was much easier to make than the recurves I build.  Ha Ha may just scrap that recurve form.

Hope to get a shot at a nice one at Kenny's lease hunt this November.

Kenny, have not shot through crono but I believe it is just about as fast as my recurve.  Much quieter and I can shoot it better.
