I had a post yesterday asking questions on bow performance and grains per lb effect on speed. Here is the bow I was testing. I actually made this bow this spring but just got the finish sprayed on it last week. My hat goes off to the bowyers that do this everyday! If I had to make a living at this I would starve to death. Made this one and one other for a friend of mine this year. Now bow building stuff is put away until after deer season this winter again. This bow is 58: and 48@25" or 57@27" It is a all bocote riser with gray/black and white phenolic/glass accents. the overlays are black and gray glass with bocote. The tips are 4 layers of black and white phenolic and glass and the limb cores are bamboo. The bocote for the limbs came from Idaho Curt. He said he had some good bocote and he didn't dissapoint! They aren't veneers, he sent them about .120 and they were tapered from there. This bow is a little heavier draw than I normally shoot but it is smooth and shoots great. here are the pics.
