Bow time
- Thread starter Milo
- Start date
I finish sanded the bow it is ready for a few coats of epoxy
I have been shooting it al through the process to be sure the tiller and alignment stayed where it should.
I ended up at 51 pounds with a 1/4" of positive tiller.
It shoots really well and 51 pounds is enough to kill a white tail.
Milo's bow looks really nice and the diamond wood really sands up nice. The grey and yellow really worked out well.
I will build another one possibly this spring but milo is right, it is time for turkeys, gardens and yard work.
Not to mention bow shoots and summer vacation

This has got to be one of the best threads ever. What you two have accomplished is very impressive. Hope they finish up and shoot the way you intended. Would love to see you both kill deer with them this year.
Awesome stuff guys... Truly. I am sincerely impressed. That is craftsmanship at its finest. Milo, that dark riser with the yellow accents is bad ass man. I'm jealous as a mofo.
Real works of art fellas. I can only imagine the joy and satisfaction that brings someone. Thanks for letting us tag along!

On behalf of Greg and myself we thank you for the nice comments and following along with us. Not sure how much more we have to post until we get the finish on them and pretty them up. I still have some limb work to do as well as some tool marks to sand out of the riser and limbs. Neither of them are perfect by any stretch if the imagination but they will kill many deer. I really think we can get the build time way down. We have the d
Fiddle farting around and thinking part mostly solved. I'm pumped to start another one and build a new limb form( which is going to happen). We will keep you posted as we finish up and begin the next chapter

Is the bow you built Eric the one you showed me that was in a box in a back room of your house?
