Title: Reserection of an old 21st Century Nova Longbow
Post by: tippit on June 10, 2018, 07:29:11 PM

My grinder was chewing off wood on a few old bows this weekend.  One old beauty...62" 21st Century Nova longbow with a gorgeous Cocobolo riser and Osage limbs.  It started at 60#@27" reduced to 39#@28 when I finished the tiller.  It hasn't been shot in 20 years but now shooting great for this old man...tippit

Beauty of an old bow! I didn't think limbs could be taken down that much?! Nice work. :thumbsup:

PV,
Once I start, it either goes to 40# or into the fire place.  Are you going to the Watanic Bowmen Charity Shoot in Merrimack this Saturday?

Man, that looks good. Great work. I need to learn how to do that. Is it difficult?

 If the weather holds and we get the hay in the barn I'll be going. You?
