        Okay, so when I got this it had a swede wrap which kept slipping around the handle area and couldn’t keep it in place. So I decided to change the looks a bit with a new waxed linen wrap, with limb accents.

          Nice! Now you need a green and black string… Or a black string with green silencers… Or a green string with black silencers…

          Where did you get the waxed linen and how did you apply it? Is it glued on, stitched on, wrapped on…?

          Can we get some close up pictures of the grip?

          Thanks.

              Nope the string stays as is.

              The waxed linen can be bought at any Crafters Store that sells beads etc.

              Can we get some close up pictures of the grip?
              Thanks.

              Lucky for you, that I took these as the camera is packed away in my bags. But here is the grip with just the black.

                I thought I would post up with new pics of my new woods that came in for my Selfbow.

                The arrows are made of cedar and spined 45-50#, and are they ever sweet looking, and with the Zwickey Eskimo 125 gr glue on broadhead they weigh in right at 495 gr total. We thought with the 45# Selfbow, that I might use a 145 gr or 150 gr but I will see how these fly with the 125 gr BH’s on them.

                Thought I would post some pics of these, as these tested so nicely, and flew like a bee straight to honey.
