Well this goes back some time. Molson and I have always been on JD to build a plain Jane hunting bow. Well I got my wish about a week ago. This bow is Osage and cocobolo. 66in long and 60 @28. I told JD I needed a good bow for muley deer in 2010. The cast on this bow is impressive. The bow is his new line called the "AROGOS" (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/100_2301.jpg) (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/100_2307.jpg) (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/100_2311.jpg) (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/100_2304.jpg) (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/100_2305.jpg)Buffalo horn tips (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w266/MGERARDI_2007/100_2306.jpg)

That's a looker! I've always been partial to simple, yet elegant longbows. Some are just too busy looking for my tastes.
Sure is a sweet shooter. 'Bout time he built something with Osage! :thumbsup:
Beautiful osage lams!!! And thanks for showing the strung profile. :thumbsup:
Beautiful! I love longbows like that!
Very nice!
Nice bud :thumbsup:
Very very nice!
Great look'n bow ... I've had several of his bows and all shot very well. Got a name for that bow ?
Got a name for that bow ?
Yup "AROGOS"
She's a beauty for sure.... :thumbsup:
I bet she shoots as good as she looks.
I had a Berry bow a few years back; it was a sweet shooter also, had to give it up for a ligher weight bow.
Sweet looking bow. Some nice looking Osage.
Excellent combination of woods A k9!
I like a good contrast between the riser and the lams, and osage with cocobolo is *always* nice!
Shoot straight, Shinken
Elkken and Northener, I will put my own name to it either during or after this season. Hopefully it will be a good one.
Curt too bad your a lefty...This is a sweet shooter.
Thanks evryone for the nice comments. JD really put his time into this bow.
My son and I meet JD back in July of this year. He showed us a couple of bows that he made. They sure are sweet. He let us shoot one of them he said was a "Proto" for a new one he was coming out with. I really liked it so I bought it. It looks like the one in your pictires.
M1, It is the same style bow. JD told me he sold that bow. But I thought he sold it out of his shop.
Mike
Congrats very nice. :bigsmyl:
Maybe soon I'll get the chance to shoot it righty :thumbsup: :pray:
Wow! Outstanding!
How much?
Mike, That's sweet lookin bow right there!! Gotta love that osage...
James just had a heart attack a few weeks ago... he is doing alright now I assume. I talked to him on the phone a couple weeks after regarding shipping a bow to Austria. Great looking bow Mike! I love the Plane Jane looking bows! 509-299-3029 to give praise, support, and maybe order yourself a great hunting bow! James cannot run around and go elk hunting, but he can crank out bows right now probably! :campfire:
Talked to James a couple days ago and he said he's doing pretty good, just taking it slow and not pushing it. He said he won't be able to shoot a bow for quite a while now until he heals up, but he can still build them. That Argos is a great shooter with a classic look.
I must be missing something because, as an avid lover of Osage, I see nothing plain jane about that bow. She is sweet looking bow and has a very nice D shape to it! Congrats and hope she brings you some good hunting memories. :thumbsup: :clapper:
Real nice looking bow, Mike.
