Selfbow reduction

[Michael Guran]

I have a beautiful snakey Osage bow built by Reece Field that is 6-8lbs too heavy for me. Does anyone do weight reductions on self bows?  I don’t have the tools or skills to do it myself. I’m thinking about bringing it to the TN Classic to see if I can get some help if I can’t find someone before then. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Michael, you will find someone to help you with this bow at the Tenn. Classic.

Ok, thanks Pat.

Better yet, they will show YOU how to do it with help.

A big Thank You to PatB and the other guys for helping me with a stubborn bow this weekend!  I learned a lot and I really appreciate your patience. I’m hoping to take it to the woods this fall!

Glad I could help you out, Michael although that bow almost kicked my butt. Seem every time we weighted it after removing wood is read 49#. I think giving it a night to rest(and me too  ) we finally got it down to where you could handle it a little better. It usually doesn't take a day and a half to reduce self bow weight.
