My new hunting bow!

Apex Predator · October 10, 2008, 06:11:00 AM

I threw this one together for myself. I decided to retire my first longbow that I had built. It has already taken a hog and a deer this year. This one is an R/D 66" nock to nock. She has an osage and granadillo riser, bamboo core, and zebra limb faces. The osage had some checks in the riser overlay and one limb tip overlay. With CA glue treatment the small cracks aren't going anywhere! She draws 51@28 and really smokes an arrow!

Glass front and back, and extra under the overlays. Thanks for the compliments.

So what's the turn around time right now Marty? I have a feeling you're going to get real busy.

Grant Young · October 10, 2008, 09:19:00 AM

Nice work Marty! I like the way you kept the lines of a traditional D shape bow with the R D design. Excellant. Grant

I may have to have you THROW ONE TOGETHER for me sometime,nice work love the zebra wood, well done.

Apex Predator · October 10, 2008, 09:28:00 AM

Turn around is a short 3-4 weeks right now, but may change depending on how orders come in. I have kept advertising to a very minimum, because I haven't quit that day job yet. Word of mouth has been great so far. I'm having a good time with it right now.

Wow, very nice work. You got a web site? What kind of lengths do you make? Thanks...Mike

Apex Predator · October 10, 2008, 09:47:00 AM

No website yet. I'm currently set up to build this bow 64-68", and a straight longbow in 62-70".
