Here are some pictures of a V-Archers longbow being built for me. It keeps looking better and better.

Doesn't look like it's going to be much longer of a wait for you. Nice looking bow.

Nice!!

Can I have it?

Winterhawk1960 · April 21, 2009, 08:33:00 PM

Thanks Ya'll

Talondale, I should have it sometime in May. I can't wait to get it in my grubby little hands.

Killie, he sure does, and that means a little somethin' "extra" coming from the "queen" of the pretty bows. You have some lookers yourself.

Leo, Nope.......sorry, you can't have it. "[dntthnk]"

Ehh, it was worth a try...

That looks fantastic! Dumb question...How do you get an idential match between the two curved wooden blocks that go together for the riser?

Winterhawk1960 · April 25, 2009, 02:27:00 PM

Adam, that would be a question for Arnold to answer.....I wouldn't have a clue.

Arnold sent me some more pictures of my bow today, out in his backyard for a test run. He said later today that he was taking her to an outdoor range, and put her through the paces. Maybe he'll take a few more pics too.

Here are the latest photo's.

Very nice bow! Really like the antler accents on the handle area.

Horner · April 28, 2009, 06:04:00 PM

Winterhawk, I have been putting off giving you a call, till you get this bow. You can bet the farm you will here from me as soon as you get this in your hands.

That bow is SWEET!!!!!!!!!
