Honey Locust Youth Bow
« on: March 16, 2014, 02:36:49 am »
I finished this bow a couple days ago. This stave was a split from a log that was a bit to short for me, so I built my little brother a bow. It's 49" ntn and pulls 20# @ 24". Nothing real fancy, just a simple bow he can shoot at targets in the yard with. There's some small holes in the top limb that I thought was pretty cool. It's a bit whip tillered but it hasn't taken a lot of set, so I think it'll be alright. Thanks for looking.

U have an extreme hinge in the bottom limb. I'd mark it and take some wood off the whole limb except that spot
