Thanks everyone

I had left the bamboo osage bow at home. I decieded to pike it and had to finish the tips off. It is now pulling 68lbs @ 28". Ill be using her the rest of the season. This bow is a recurve I copied from an older one I had.I just beefed it up more than the original. It is a yew lam under glass. It is 63lbs at 28" It stacks to about 67-68lbs at my draw lenght. I was using carbon express arrows that I weighted to get 13 grain per inch. With Magnus two blade broadheads, 125grain. Arrow is around 620+grains. I shot her at a little under 20 yards. It was a complete pass through. It was an easy pass through. The arrow went in behind the diaphram, through the liver, though both lungs and through the aorta then out the brisket. Just bearly missed the clavicle. It had nothing really stopping it.

My land has not oak trees on it. A small patch of shinnery, but it does not produce many acorns. Yea, Nugent is eat up with oak trees. I drove through Nugent last night. I had to take the daughter to Abilene for a doctors appointment and we drove home on 600. Just by Fort Pantom, through Nugent thenUp toStamford and on home. I like to take 600 sometimes. Im only 45min away from Nugent. I actually will hunt not far from there in Moran. My uncle has some land there..

I think what happened to greg and peewee at Nugent is Russ forgot to shower...he's infamous for that!Get spellcheck Russ...it's boar.

Nah I was right I thought it was you coming in and well you bore everyone

Thanks Burnie, I look forward to seeing you be successful with a bow I have watched you make.

this bow is one I built a few years back. It is a glass lam recurve. Its the only bow ive ever used yew on. I just copied the design from an old recurve I had. I just finish pikeing my osage bow, and am in the middle of a take down ipe bow. Ill be hunting the rest of the season with an osage bamboo bow.
