Title: How about some BBO pics?
Post by: Looper on April 29, 2011, 01:55:00 PM
I've got 3 BBOs I'm working on and need a little inspiration.  Could those of you that have them, post some pics of your BBOs?  I guess any bamboo-backed bow would be fine.

My first one is a Torges style I finished a couple of years ago.  It's little too short for me, and needs some tiller refinement, so I'm redoing it for a friend.

The second is a 64" takedown bbo.  I think I'll make this one for my traveling bow.  It has that awesome dark bamboo on the back.  I'll probably leave the bamboo unscraped.

The third is a 68" bbo.  I plan on skinning this one with some copperhead skins I have.

I'm thinking that this season I might hunt exclusively with a bbo.  I think some cane shafts with turkey feathers and trade points would be a nice match.  I've also got plans for a coyote back quiver to hold them.

Bamboo backed bows are my personal favorite.  I have a Dryad BBO with a horn belly that is just incredible.  The horn does magical things to those boo backed bows.
I'll try to get a pic up on here for you when I get a chance.

My Dryad Hunter is one of my favorite bows to shoot.  If I have a "forgiving" bow, it would have to be this one.  Sorry don't have any good pics of it.

I know there have to be some BBO pics out there.  I'd really like to see some grip details.
