I started this bow at the Tennessee Classic from a stave I picked up there. This was the belly split off the larger stave. It was clean and had straight alignment with some reasonable curves. I really had fun with this one. I tried to accentuate the snakes with the tips and the skins. I gave it some mild reflex to add some snap. It's a real smooth shooter. The handle wrap is tanned beaver tail with kangaroo lace. The finish is tru oil. The string is fastflight with muskrat fur silencers.

That's my favorite type of bow right there. Sexy.

What are her measurements? Length, width, weight, draw length?

From: joe vt

Beautiful, stunning, and a work of art. Boy at that 66" length it must be smooth. I See it is not in your stock bow section so it must be already sold?

Predictably awesome Weylin. You did that stave proud.

Now that is just jaw dropping awesome! Amazing bow well done!

From: 2 bears
Date: 25-Jun-19




That is beautiful. I have to have a snakey bow one day. The skins,grip and tips go together so well and really set it off. All I have seen seem to run from 50 pounds on up. Will the wavy staves make an efficient bow in the 35 to 40 range with a near 30" draw? >>>>-----> Ken

The animals should be proud to be killed by that bow.Love it!!!

From: RonG
Date: 26-Jun-19




Don't set it on the ground, someone might shoot it.

Love the simulated rattles on the tip.

Whoever spotted that while you were building sure had great taste and a very fortunate person to acquire it.

After drooling over the pictures,

Who ever bought that bow had better take care of it, I would trade my wife and throw in a couple of her cats with the deal and a $1000.00 bill.

I don't think the law would allow me to do that though, let me check in on that and I will get back to you!!!!

Beautiful and deadly looking!

From: tinecounter

Not a fan of snake skin on bows, UNLESS, skin is affixed to a "snakey bow." Wow! Functional art; very well done. Beautiful!
