wood/sinew reflex/reflex
« on: February 11, 2011, 08:35:58 am »
My last idea.Hickory heartwood , sinew , static recurve.Sinew in leather, fish glue. 58 inch long , about 50 lb .Reflex in rest about 6 inch after unstrung about 5 ( including recurve tips , about 3 ich on limbs).I start tillering with over 7 inch of reflex. Mass of bow 430 gram , not bad by hickory and sinew.I dont shoot yet on chrono, to cold outside but I expect good performance.

  I like that! It has a nice curve and looks like it should be fast.

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

Very nice bow,great reflex,bet it will be fast.Did you put rawhide over the sinew,  If not you sure done a slick job on the sinew.Looks just like a rawhide backed bow. :)

That is a GREAT looking bow.  I wish I could see that one in person.  Wonderful profile, excellent touch with the handle and small touches.  Really nice!

I really like the lines formed by the grip, it gives the braced bow an extra curvy look.
