What kind of draw weight did you get out of it Arvin

Not sure yet I have only shot it about 30 times . I am guessing it will hit 50# give or take a couple.

Very Nice Brother!!!!

Does she shoot as well as she looks? How does the Persimmon age, does it get darker?

I just got some great bamboo shafts from eBay for my selfbow. I'm going to make some arrows out of the turkey feathers that I shot this year

Nice looking bow Arvin as always I have some persimmon want to work. Did you heat treat the belly and how long did you make this one? Was there a growth ring to follow and did it work like osage?
