Default RE: Started new bow !!

one more

BTW Bow is cored with bamboo, has a bocote riser, and I put a piece of Zebrawood on handle to 'fix' it.. I didnt like an experimental shaper so I routed it off and reworked it..Its about 43-45lbs and is 62"

Shot it about 10 times at ten yards... it feels great !!! And I nailed the target every shot....

Looks great. I would like to learn to make my own - just don't have the time nor the tools. They look great and I like the poundage too...

Nice looking bow. After seeing all the post recently about bow making I am going to have to make me one this winter. Got a few more tools to pick up then I will be set.

I like the design. I plan on trying a lam bow sooner or later. Still ate up with selfbows.

But that design is what I would be shooting for. Nice looking wood.
