Well I picked up an Arvin Weaver Osage Selfbow this past weekend and couldn't put it down. I was invited to give arrow building demos at a Celtic Festival near Austin and Arvin was there giving bow building demos. So we hooked up and I shot almost every bow he had there, but this one really stood out. She is 69" long with a #45 @ 28" draw and one of the smoothest bows I've ever shot. Doesn't have a shielf, but that didn't seem to matter as I shot it really well and had to bring her home with me.

Last night I shot it from my tripod and though the groups aren't as good as with my White Wolf custom, a little more practice should take care of that. Now to get some arrows setup with trade points on them so if I'm feeling froggy next week she is ready to hunt. Here is the video I shot of me shooting out of the tripod. I wasn't at my best and you can see my release wasn't what it should have been, but the arrows (for the most part) were still hitting home.
