Run on compound and crossbows

[Troublco]

Before I moved I swapped my fly tying supplies with a buddy for his arrow making gear, and I'd forgotten all about it until I saw that pic of Bo's arrow shop. I may have to go visit Bass Pro tomorrow and check out the bows.

I'd be curious to hear how the bow turns out. I've heard that Osage Orange wood makes good bows, and I know of a couple of very large, mature trees near my house. When I get home I may go check them out and see if there are any likely looking branches that need trimmed...

Bass pro for compounds, but I wouldn't go look at any traditional stuff there. Try going to Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear at on Sheridan at I-76. Best selection of all the Trad Gang gear. My 2 cents.

I have a Master Bowyer as my instructor. (Dad!) 50+ years making traditional recurves and longbows.

My new takedown Longbow Hybrid:
Riser: Lacewood with Osage.
Limbs: Birdseye Maple with Clear Glass. Osage Fadeout.

Might be able to get some photos tomorrow, still a bit of work to go yet before it's done.
