Hazel (Coryllus avellana) shortbow
« on: November 03, 2019, 12:28:27 pm »
Hello!
This is the bow I finished recently. 50 inches long, drawing 25-30lbs at 22 inches. (max 23)
Finished with the wood varnish, cow horn and dyed linen twine. Cool bow for the young archer.  (SH)

Youngsters love bows like that.Put an arrow shelf, and a string nock point on it. That will make it much easier for them to shoot it.

Thank you bassman and IrishJay for your comments.
That's cool idea bassman!
Brace height is nearly 5 inches.

Thank you Deerhunter, Hawkdancer, Woodely.
Yes, I planned to make it all length bend but it ended up like this... I like it anyway!  (-_)
