hybrid scythian horn bow
« on: August 04, 2011, 08:19:28 pm »
here is a hybrid scythian horn bow that i finished up this month,,  after 8 months seasoning, it was a pleasure to see it come to a finish..  49" tip to tip. 60#@27" so far,, im looking to have it draw out to 28" or 29" after it is shot in,,  birch bark cover with scythian ram , horse and leapord on back of bow,,  this bow really shoots great- no hand shock , dead quite, and fast...  i may have to keep this one to hunt with this year..  james

So excellent James...your work is stellar and quite the inspiration.  One day I'll take a crack at a horn bow, hopefully sooner than later.  Keep em coming.

That's funny there Pat... :)

Another gorgeous bow.  Amazing bend in those limbs.

James, do you happen to have any pics of this bow while you built up the core and pre-sinew?  Very curious to see the shape.

Another awsome bow james, congrats on finishing her.  The scythian design has always been my favorit for many reasons.

thanks to all ,, especially you pat, lets see the ugliest guy i know,, that would be a toss up between you and the old hippy- allen, i guess you two will have to draw straws >:D >:D

lee ,the pre sinewed core looks basically the same ,but with less reflex in the bending area, , after seasoning and before the first stringing, the bow had 5 to 6 times the amount of reflex in the limbs,, hope this helps,,,james
