Title: ELK bow done and ready
Post by: T Folts on September 03, 2012, 08:46:00 PM
Just finished this bow for my Colorado Elk hunt next week, shoots great and tuned perfectly.
It's 49#, 64" made out of cocobolo dymond wood with actionboo limb cores.

WOW!! Great looking bow for sure!  If your bowhunting skills are anywhere close to your talent in building a bow, the Elk better start looking for deep cover quickly.

Looks like you are more than a hobbyist bowyer.  Do you make them for people if they want one from you?

I like that bow!. It looks stylish in a simple manner but still appears very lethal. It simply looks like an elk tool, so we expect a nice story soon with pictures of that bow resting on a fine elk. Good luck!
