Hey Scott, give me a call. It's mid 40's..I haven't scaled it yet, haven't even shot it.

From: Bob Rowlands

Brad makes a great selfbow! What's on the back?

From: Pa Steve
Date: 14-Apr-18




Nice. Simplicity at it's finest. I was wondering about the back too. Is it dyed or stained?

From: SB
Date: 14-Apr-18




Always wanted an Osage self bow. I have made plenty from white woods, but my one attempt with Osage was a major fail!

From: George D. Stout Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 14-Apr-18




Brad would know better what was on the back, looks painted to me, some southwest, native flora and fauna primitive scenery..very beautiful.

From: Old School Compton's Traditional Bowhunters

Very nice

From: Knifeguy

George, nice bow. On my bucket list to get one before much longer. Lance.

From: Dan W
Date: 14-Apr-18




George got a NEW new bow! Congratulations, George- a real beaut, that one- perfection in simple but complete, yes, no side cutting!

From: Skeets
Date: 14-Apr-18




Nice! George, that's a "head turner"! Hope you get the chance to take it to a 3D shoot.

From: chazz847

Great looking bow, enjoy it !!

From: fdp

From: 2 bears
Date: 14-Apr-18




Very nice. I am anxious to hear the specs and see you shooting it.I am very curious to see what spine arrows it likes. I will be hunting for arrows for one pretty soon.Thanks. >>>----> Ken

From: KDdog
Date: 14-Apr-18




Brad is also quite the accomplished artist , not only with self bows, but with oil paintings as well.

Cool stuff right there........

From: RonG

That is one to be proud of, beautiful work and I bet it shoots as well as it looks. Congratulations on your new Osage George.

From: unhinged
Date: 16-Apr-18




Thats a beauty. Almost a "Hippy" Bow, you might have to wear paisley camo, while shooting that one.

From: Bill Rickvalsky
Date: 16-Apr-18




I couldn't own something like that, George. Too pretty. I would be afraid to take it out and shoot it. Me and my clumsiness would mess it up the first time out the door.

From: George D. Stout Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 16-Apr-18




Once the rain lets up I'll get out with it. Right now we are in the presence of a monsoon of sorts....well needed by the way. Brad made it to shoot, so it will be used.

From: George D. Stout Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 16-Apr-18




It's a single loop string Craig that looks to be timer-hitched on the lower limb. I may have to adjust it a hair, but it shoots very well so far. Yes...very quiet. Brad calls for a 5 3/4" brace.

From: cobra
Date: 16-Apr-18




Cool Camo too.

From: MStyles
Date: 16-Apr-18




The primitive artwork on the back of the bow makes it unique, very cool George, looks like it will be fun!

From: wooddamon1 Compton's Traditional Bowhunters
Date: 16-Apr-18




Very cool.

From: BACKYARD
Date: 16-Apr-18




Beautiful craftsmanship. Congrats George.

From: DaleHajas
Date: 16-Apr-18




When I joined the LW back in 97 or 98 there was a thread on one of Brad Smiths personal bows and the artwork on the back was just incredible! I would suppose this to be the same Brad Smith? That bow is incredible George! Enjoy!

Nice bow for sure. Arvin

I wanted to add,, it was a pleasure and honor to make the bow for George,, and hope it brings him much shooting pleasure and meat for the table as well,, his constant help and advice for those here has been much appreciated and respected over the years,, and I wish him well in all aspects of his life,, especially his archery,, hoping the arrow always flies true for him ,,, :)

From: Bjrogg

Nice bow George. Brad teased us on another site with that one. Said he was making it for someone special. I'm sure it shoots as nice as it looks. Bjrogg

Nice bow. And the art work is nice too.

From: Catsailor
