Hi All,
Back through the New year and January I asked for so much help making my first bow that its virtually open-sourced! Thanks everyone tor all your help. Now I finally made a string I can post some pics., although the image quality is awful. Once its oiled and waxed I'll put up some better quality photos. Stats are 60" ntn, hazel hollow-limb pyramid, draws to 29" max, antler nocks with a linen string. Any and all crtiticisms are welcome, bottom limb looks to be working too hard to me but it is 4" shorter than the top limb which might be a bit stiff in the top 1/4. Arrow pass is 1/4" above half way point.
I can never get set and string follow the right way round, but the bow has 1.5 inches of set (permanent bend), and 1 inch string follow which disappears within ten minutes of de-stringing. Draw weight is unknown, my (new) scales say 17lb but I haven't calibrated them and the bow feels a lot stronger than that and shoots similarly to the 25lb bows at the club. The young archer is very happy
