Title: This years HUNTING osage selfbow !!! ( "DOC")
Post by: getstonedprimitivebowhunt on August 11, 2010, 09:24:00 AM

This is a Osage selfbow I just finished. I'll be using it this deer season.. Its 55# @ 25 inch draw. 57 inch tip to tip. It has a beaver tail handle wrap. Whitetail deer antler arrow rest.

I started this bow last week the day we buried my friend Greg "DOC" Albright. I finished yesterday

Thanks for looking at this bow ...Jeff
