He knows that I like short bows so I'm getting the first one.
He just finished the form and I had a special riser block made and sent to him.
This is the riser block. Black Buckeye Burl with red resin.

I will post updates as they come in.
He assures me it's going to happen. I told him not to worry about it, but I hope to get it before October.
He hopes it's not going to be that long. :archer:
Post by: Pine on July 29, 2019, 07:11:10 PM
He is getting back at it.
Just got this picture of the idea of how it will look.

I've desided to go with charcoal stained burtch over the actionboo.

The bow lams with the riser.
Post by: Pine on August 05, 2019, 01:38:01 PM
Oh boy, he just showed me the other side of the lams.
Says only the wood grain would show on the finished bow.
Decisions decisions. 🤔

Strung up profile.
Still needs some tillering and weight adjustment .
And a friend of mine was picking on me that the shelf will get cut on the wrong side.
That's not funny. :nono:

Finally got a chance to get her setup.
With a FF string it shot very harsh and I was having trouble fine tuning it.
So I twisted up a B55 and after shooting the string in, I dialed the brace height in and 7" on the dot is best.
It's shooting these 70-75# Douglas Fur arrows like a lazer beam.
Thanks for coming along with me and my new go to hunting companion.

How would this bow look with snake skins?
Post by: Pine on September 19, 2019, 04:24:56 PM
Finally got it all dialed in for the opener on October 1st.

I knew it was the first kill for the short model, but I was very surprised it was the very first.
He told me he is building his website and asked if he could use the picture to start his Gallery.
Buy the way, he still hasn't named this short model. :biglaugh:
