Well here you go then!

Top limb...


Bottom limb...


Grip/fade...


Unbraced proflie...


And, braced...


It's a very, very fast & hardhitting bow. It shoots a 660gn arrow at 166fps (first arrow, 100th arrow = 159) It holds just 1" of deflex & after 100 arrows will return to this inside of an hour.

Wow - thanks for the picks.

The bow looks great! A great shape - nice and compact; and doesn't look to have much/any set :-)

I'm hoping to make something similar - I've two billets that together would give me 64" (with no room to mess). Figure if I could put a couple of inches of reflex in it it could be a flightbow...

Cheers, D

Cheers man! I say go f'r it!

I've got 2 Osage selfbows, plus another on the way. There's nothing that says a longbow has to be long! The lad I've got coming is only 59" & draws happily to 30" It's sinew backed & it'll be getting a set of snakeskins on it when I've got the tiller perfect.
The shortest is only 58" tip to tip (actually 56-1/2" nock to nock) & it agin will draw to 30" with no bother. You only really need to stretch 'em to 72"+ if you're dead set on a round bellied ELB
