Default RE: My Bow Rack

Thanks, guys. I am pretty proud of her, especially since she's the first glass laminated bow I ever attempted.

Jeff, I don't think I'll use hickory again. The light color contrasts really well with a dark riser and it's got suprisingly nice grain to it. The bow shoots okay and has good speed... well, excellent speed really... but hickory is fairly heavy and I think it gives the bow a little more shock than it needs. But I'm pretty sensitive to hand shock because I severely dislocated my bow hand thumb playing b'ball in college. Didn't bother me too much back then but now, 35 years later, it gives me fits. I'll probably use red elm for my next one. I really want to try my hand at a H. Hill style straight limbed bow. I'm thinking face cut red elm under clear glass and shedua for the riser.
