Title: My new Bamboo Nomad
Post by: Mechslasher on June 08, 2008, 12:15:00 PM
here's my new bow made by james parker. it measures 48.5 inches ntn. it's a glass lam bow with bamboo on the belly and leather velum dyed dark brown on the back. this is a new design with new tapers that james came up with for people liking short bows. i've not shot it through a chrono yet but it's fast and shoots like a dream.

Chris, Ya gonna stick a pig or 2 with that little sweety next weekend?  I saw this bow a few weeks ago at the Hickory Shoot. James is making some sweet bows these days. His Bamboo Dragon is an awesome bow also.    Pat
