My New Bow Blaster!

[gnihcraes]

Finished my bow today, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Means a lot to me, I did 90% of the work to build it with my fathers instruction.

Longbow/Recurve Hybrid. A little bit of both.

Lacewood, Osage, Walnut riser.
Clear Glass, Birdseye Dark/Light Maple laminations

Well, I know a bit, just from being around them and watching pops build them all my life. I built this one with his help. Doubt I can do it again without.

Full bow in pic. I have a 20 year old bow (ironically a "bear" brand) from my FIL. It's a compound/recurve hybrid too. Been getting into that a lot since I can't afford gun, lol.
