Here are some pictures of a bow I made for myself. I built it like the one I showed earlier. This is the ugly sister to that one. I haven't checked the weight on it but it started out at 75 lbs before I did the final width and rounded edges. It feels like it could have ended up at around 60 lbs. It's a 64" n to n bow. Camo job turned out well as I had a hard time seeing it in the pictures.

Re: My ugly sister bow
The camo job sure makes the bow ugly alright. You better not put it down out in the field or you mightn't find it.

I checked the weight on it and it's 64lb at 28" and 61 at my 27" draw. About 4-5 lbs heavier than I wanted but it will make good elk medicine in 3 weeks.
