I made this bow without adornment, a plain Jane. But I took great care in the tillering of her, an ipe backed with rock elm bow in a pyramid design. 64" long at 62#. I thought I was backing her with hickory but then realized I had used my last piece of rock elm. A tree my father-in-law had cut 30 years ago and had actually saved a board which he graciously gave to me. I stained her brown and glued on a brown handle section so brown on brown on brown. Many times I tillered bows at a desired poundage only to find that when they "came to the string" the poundage was less than I hoped for. Not so with Jane, Dirty Jane. You see she has a dirty little secret, she's a killer. She flat out shoots with deadly accuracy. Nasty one she is. I'll try to take a pic just so you can see her for yourself. And she is FAST! Up till now I was afraid to give up the compound, but not so anymore. My last shot tonight was 40yds and I hit right where I was looking. Oh she is a nasty girl,,, :archer:
cool can't wait 2 c her. i love nasty girls!
