I just got this beautiful, hickory selfbow in the mail. It was sent by someone who wanted me to have it. It is beautifully made and a pleasure to hold and shoot. I am certainly humbled by deeds such as this and really don't know how to adequately thank those who are such givers. Thank you David for this beautiful longbow. I know there is magic in this weapon.

Nice :thumbsup: Is that a built in string keeper? It could double as a wind check.
It is a string keeper. I have a piece of turkey feather to hand on to the string for a wind check. It's simply a beautiful bow. :archer:
What a sweet bow :thumbsup: congrats to you and well done to whoever sent it :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Never ceases to amaze me how the folks here are. Kinda like Woodstock without the drugs. :D
Fine bow there, George. What does it pull, and how long is it? I just got a belt buckle in the mail that is really cool. I can't show it off until I send something back, but Keith sure gave up a pretty trinket there.
It is easy to relax here, because chances are, you will be regarded kindly by the members who happen to stumble across your post.
Killdeer :campfire:
That's a really Stout looking bow, George! dave
Killdeer, It is 68" between the nocks and 55#@28". I draw it to 27". It seems to really like 28", 50# spine cedars with 160 grain heads. I'm going to give it a walk after lunch today...over and along the river and through the woods, then back to grandmother's house we will go.
:thumbsup:
