Title: Ohhh My Osage!.....My New Bow Has Landed!! She's a quiet one too!
Post by: Wannabe1 on May 08, 2013, 03:59:00 PM
My new Lynn Harrelson Kolomi Straight longbow made it home today! It is Osage/Osage with ebony back over lay and buffalo horn tips. The bow is 68", 45# @ 29" and light in the hand. I just love it!!      :bigsmyl:

I just wanted to add that Lynn was an exceptional great person to deal with! He told me that the Osage used in my bow came from a very very old tree (300-400yrs old) from a plantation down in Montgomery, AL that was hit by lightning over ten years ago. He is almost out of his supply from that tree and I'm am glad to have a piece of something so old.

Lynn is a great guy to know and do bussiness with.
I have two of his Kolomis, one for me and one for my son.  I think our bows are related, from the same tree.  Both mine are a bit different than his regular bows, no shelf.  My son and I are both knuckle draggers!  they are the monly ones I know that he made that way.
Sweet shooters.  I know you will enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours!

I love Osage!!

Put some decals on it while it's yellow then allow the sun to do its part then when you remove the decal it's permanently marked.

God bless,Mudd

Thanks Matt. I have found that if I don't think about the bow, my form or the arrow; and just burn a hole in my target, my accuracy is a lot better. It works pretty good for me.   :)

Lynn truly is a great guy to deal with. I used to buy arrows from him till he sold the arrow portion of his business. My Kolomi has a core of Persimmon with back and belly in Bamboo. Your osage bow really looks nice, and I know you will enjoy it - I sure like my Kolomi.

Osage is a beautiful bow wood, esp after it ages and darkens up.

Congrats on your new stick!

I have been shooting the bow and found that I get best flight with a 125gr tip. This gives me an overall arrow weight of 441gr. Seems a bit lite to me but, it flies real well.

Boy oh boy, I am in awe at this bow! Been shooting her every since she arrived and I'm glad to say, I've got my setup. 441gr AD Trad Lites cut 29.5" B.O.P. with a 125gr tip. Brace set at 6 3/4".

Now I've owned a lot of bows as some of you may know but, this bow is by far the quietest I've experienced yet! My wife, standing a few yards away, says she sees my release but can only hear the arrow when it hits the target.
