[TRAP]

What an awesome thread,  Those bows both look great Bjorn.  Tell Adam, Great Job!!!!!  

Are you going to let him out shoot you at the next 3D Shoot with it?    

Too Cool, Folks that's the Good Stuff, Right there.

Thanks Killy, but I know you did that so you could see your arrow better-love the smile on Adam's face.
Trap, I will let Adam know, thanks!
Adam's bow is 42# @ 22" and 61" long.
Mine is 56@28 and 66"
We are both so jazzed about the performance and 'feel' of these bows-can't wait to make another.
You know, if you have a son or daughter that's expressing any interest in doing something like this I just can't recommend it more highly.
And Raptor is the place to do it.

Just remember come Nov Ted is joining 7th Age for a bow build Hog hunt.....Bjorn & Adam took us for a nice trip to Hood River, this is just to show everyone how Ted helps others to build bows... Great Job on the Bows Guys & thanx for the picture show of Raptor Archery shop.

Bjorn and Adam , what a grand week having you two hang out at the shop, not to mention the two beautiful bows that were created , hope I am there when you both take something with them.
This has inspired me to get a virtual tour of the store so all can see the ceiling to floor old bows ,quivers ,arrows ( even Killdeer's arrow). Not to mention old photos and such. I will look into this.
As Curtis said look for more in the future with classes available such as the 7th age and Raptor class coming in November, dont let Curtis fool you , this is as much about learning his incredible spot and stalk hog hunting as well as learning to hand craft a bow , then hunting to boot.
Also will be taking booking for the Raptor Archery annual bear hunt and bow building with Weitas creek outfitters in the beautiful bitterroot mountains of Idaho coming in May 2009.
These type of classes are a great way to learn to build bows while enjoying the friendship and hunting as well. You can always contact us here at the store for a more personal class as Adam and Bjorn did as well.
Thank you Bjorn and Adam for a fine week of bow building.
