        Made for me by a friend from western Pa. Bamboo backed osage; 66″, 41#, and a beauty of a weapon. Gonna give it a go on the stumps, and the local 3D club shoot next Sunday…if I get my arrows done in time. There’s nothing quite like an all wood bow…or even grass and wood 8^). Wanted to share.

          That’s one clean machine, George. Congrats to the bowyer. Most of my bows have been osage backed with either pignut hickory, or bamboo. I found the hick-backs to be faster and have less string follow, but to break too often for my tastes. A well-made boo-backed osage stick will last forever. Or close enough. dp

            Hello David. No string follow on this one as it was pressed in a deflex reflex. Really sweet shooter and wonderful for my aging bones. I can shoot it pretty much all day. 🙂
