Ayup all,

Took the opportunity to take a few photos of my new bow today in the five minute weather gap we had :)

This bow is 63 inches long and pulls 68lbs at 27 inches of draw. The recurved tips were put in with steam and the black tip overlays are buffalo horn. Just made a new string for her and tidied a few things up. Sorry not pictures of me drawing the thing back as it was all i could do to string it never mind draw it. Had a few mates give it a go and none of them can draw it out to full draw as none of them are archers.

Few pics anyway.

Tips need a polish.

I know nothing at all about archery, but I know quality when I see it and that bow sings of it - lovely!
