Title: Finished another bow today!
Post by: Apex Predator on May 19, 2008, 12:01:00 PM
This is a 65" bamboo backed ipe that I built for a wheelie shooting buddy of mine.  It draws 40@28 and turned out quite well.  It was my first narrow width bow.  It is only 3/4" wide at the widest.  It is a sweet shooter, and has about 1" of string follow.

He loves his knew bow.  He kept telling me "I can't believe how much fun this is".  He usually dusts off his compound a few weeks before the opener!

Marty,
You keep this up and you're gonna get me to give it a try!
I'm going to the lumberyard tomorrow and you're going to be getting a lot of emails with questions.

That's some great work there partner.  It's also a perfect weight for converting a shooter.
