I have never owned a bow built with osage.  I can now cross that off of my bucket list.  Traded for this bow..  The bow came with 2 sets of limbs, both are osage and backed with something else.. One set is #41@28, the other is #54@28.  You can notice how one set is a little darker than the other.  The first set(#54@28) were built in 2010(original bow), the second set(#41@28) was built in 2013.  This is probably one of the nicest bows I have ever owned.  

My only concern is that the bow is 56" and I have a little longer draw.  I did shoot the #41 limbs and wow, was it smooth!  I am sure the #54 limbs will feel as if they stack worse.  
I will try to trade them off or something to that extent.(if you have some 60" limbs you would want to trade, let me know!)

It also came with a weird quiver. haha.  It is completely bone and wood.  

Enjoy.

I love the quiver. That's just awesome. The bow is cool too but that quiver is some kind of cool. I may have to try to DIY something similar.

Nice bow . Bet the 54lb limbs shoot as smooth as the others. Would make a great predator calling bow.

Nice looking bow!! With the PCH riser I bet the 54# limbs draw and shoot as smooth as the 41# limbs.  I love my PCH, I really love the look of osage as it starts darken down. That quiver is something else I bet it looks really colon the bow. Congrats on a great trade and happy shooting.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Rob,

the limbs say "osage orange" on both sets.  I don't know much about woods. lol.  I just know they shoot well.   :)

Your string elbow is to high, should be level or a little lower, you can see the way it looks, like your ring finger is going to come off last. Doesn't look like a pinch problem though.

Nice bow, good luck with it.

BW are awesome bows and you got a very nice one congrats.

A friend of mine had a BW (can not remember which model) that was 56" and I draw about 29". It started to come to the wall at about 28.5" to 28.75" for me.

Nice looking bow, the quiver looks to be a custom Cherokee Slim quiver and I noticed the name on the limb is the same. Maybe it was his personal bow and quiver that he made for it.

I do appreciate the comments.  I think this is one of those, "don't fix what aint broken" moments.  I have zero complaints about accuracy.  Now, if holding my elbow lowere will make the deer show up better, i will drop it all the way down to my waist!   :)

it is one of his quivers.  I got the bow from him.  He is a good guy to deal with!

Well, it has been confirmed.. I am going to sell the bow. It is too short. I can really feel it with the heavier limb. Wish it would have worked out, but I knew the risk when I got it.
