Optimal 27

Introducing Optimal 27, ‘Limbo’. This bow is 61.5” nock to nock. My target weight was 35lbs at 28”. The last time I checked it pulled 37lbs at 28”, 35@27, and 33 at 26”. The tips are red mulberry burl,  the grip is beaver tail, with elk sinew dyed and finished on the back of the limbs.The handle is similar to most of my handles in that there are no corners to poke your hand. All sides are radiused. The indentation right below the arrow shelf insures the hand finds the same spot ever time when gripped. This billet bow is crafted from a set of belly billets taken from the top side of a rather large Osage limb, resulting in naturally strong reflexed limbs, which keep their reflex when unstrung. The natural site windows are a result of grain swirl around where a knot was. Although the bow is finished to a satisfactory degree, I’ll be buffing and applying another coat or two of Truoil
