reel advice.

[sleek]

A budy of mine has a modern bow fishing reel but wants me to make him a short bow for it. I am thinking short wide and recurved. Probably black locust because I have a 2 inch wide stave. What's the best way to design a bow for a reel to mount to?

your gonna attach it with straps right, just make a bow I don't think it has to be anything differant

Actually it screws into the stabalizer.

build it with a stiff riser and install a insert below the grip

Use a coke bottle as a reel and your good to go

they make a deal that straps on that you can screw the real onto in place of the stabilizer insert , I will try to get some pics up for you tomorrow

I welded a 5/16 nut to a piece of steel strap. Glued on a couple of leather pieces to go between bow and strap so it wouldnt scratch my bow, then taped on with electrical tape.... Brian

I have one of those.  It works pretty good.
