baby bow

#1 Post by Gringa Bows » Sun Jun 20, 2010 4:54 pm

:lol: through the week i was shooting my hunting bow at some targets in the back yard, and it seemed to be shooting alot slower then normal,but a bit later after twenty hours of labour ,and a lot of screaming and yelling all coming from me,look what i found next to my bow,a little baby H.H.style bow....it was 56in. ntn 15lb at 20,and it had two core lams of bamboo,the riser was 12in.and made of jarrah......i think Wayno's longbow had something to do with this... :lol:

My young fella wants to put in an order! He wants a longbow like Dad..."Can I sell my compound Dad?...That'll help me get a longbow faster???"

Hey Paul, I know where he can get one just like yours :lol:

Great looking bow Rod. Nothing to get in the way of learning the first steps in shooting, but 1000 times better than what most young kids start with.

My boy has been picking at me to make him one now that I've finished mine.
Maybe I'll give it a try.

Hi Rod,

You did a nice job on the bow. 8) 8) 8)

Did you make it for one of the kids :?: :?: :?: or is it your 'girlie' bow for the Gladstone muster in 2011 :?: :?: :?:

Cheers,

Daryl.
