Title: Some zebra and cocobolo
Post by: BrushWolf on February 12, 2016, 06:51:00 PM: This one I just finished up today. It turned out at 53#@28" it is 60" long I revamped somethings and really like them. Shot it awhile today and am pretty pleased.

Post by: BrushWolf on February 14, 2016, 05:24:00 PM: Thanks. It's for a good buddy I made him his first bow about this time last year and he got a real nice buck with it last fall. I think he is hooked now and twisted my arm for a new bow. I hope he likes this one as much as his other one. I just need it to warm up a bit and spray some finish on it.

You said you made some changes, what did you do? Looks like maybe you changed the shape of the flare?
Title: Re: Some zebra and cocobolo
Post by: BrushWolf on February 19, 2016, 12:51:00 PM: Beachbowhunter. I changed the flare a bit and shrunk the overall size of the riser. The bow is 1 7/16 wide so I though the overall dimensions need tweaked. I think it's has the best grip I've made to date. The whole bow just has a better feel to it so to speak.
