Question on pacific dogwood
« on: November 20, 2009, 12:47:45 pm »
Ive got a dogwood stave that is fairly narrow but highly crowned,almost oval on the back,I was considering making a 64 inch flatbow,17/8 wide to midlimb but with such high crown I am unsure how to lay it out.Im looking for 65 to 70# at 26 inches any thoughts would be appreciated,Dave.

 I've got one I have had for about 6 years, Dave. It has a high crown also. I was told to make it 2-17/8" wide and leave the belly flat. Then just round the edges. Mine is layed out, 2" at the fades and taperes down the last 1/3 to 1/2" tips. I was going to make a semi, bend in the handle bow. It is 66" T-T.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
