A new RD bow finished last Friday

V-Archer · November 10, 2007, 01:28:00 PM

Hi All,

Finished a new R/D Friday evening. The bow is 62" long ntn and has a sweet pull of 52# @28". The limbs – back and belly - are made of bacote under clear glass with a combo of maple and bamboo as core. The riser is made of bacote and cocobolo with a mosaic accent stripe between them. An overlay of black glass with bacote finishes the riser off. The tips are made of Micarta G10 with a bacote overlay.

The bow is a real sweet shooter, smooooth and no hand shock. My shooting buddy and I fired approx 40 arrows and all within a 5" circel at 16 yards. My score is shown in the picture.
BTW: This bow will be heading to the USA together with the other one I posted last month.

Stunning bow!

I couldn't help but notice your target, or more to the point, the broken window right next to it!

I don't remember that being broken in the last pic? It was your buddy, right?

V-Archer · November 10, 2007, 07:15:00 PM

Jeremy,

No, it was another guy who bought a bow from me and right with his first shot he missed the target. Made a nice "klonk" through the plexi-glass, landing the arrow in the wall inside the wood shed. Well those things happen LOL.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Very nice V. I like the looks of your bows. That bacote is really nice. Mike

Great looking bow.Your own design?

Jeremy · November 11, 2007, 07:56:00 PM

V, I was just teasing you! I love the look of your bows: nice lines, nice styling, and the craftsmanship looks top notch too.

SOS · November 11, 2007, 08:46:00 PM

Beautiful...you just keep getting better. Nice wood selections, bocote and cocobola are two woods hard to beat for a good looking bow.

Looks like someone beat me to the "hole in the window" comment. If that were my shed, it would be well air conditioned! sTeve

Today I arrived in the US for a business trip and it's good to be back again.

I brought this one and another one with me to Minneapolis. I'll ship both bows to Ned Miller ( Crow's Head Outfitters)

Crooked Stic: Yes it's my own design.
