An osage bow has excellent cast. It has never been popularas a target bow because it is rather harsh shooting. But, whenit comes to a hunting bow, it stands pre-eminent. It is tough.It will stand all the abuse the hunters give it. One can literallyuse it for a tent pole, a vaulting pole or a hand spike—he mayfall on it or crash it against hard objects and it will come upin shooting condition. Zero weather does not affect it. How-ever, the hunter is warned to carefully inspect any osage bow,which he may contemplate buying, for knots and cross grain.A knot in an osage bow is usually fatal and cross grain in anybow is to be avoided.
