Title: 3 New bows, (will branch topic out later)
Post by: Kitsu on March 26, 2009, 11:21:18 am

unfortunately my HHB short bow didn't make it, i pulled it back to far, the other two, my red oak and sugar maple longbow are in good shape, i still have my hhb longbow drying and i plan on doing that slower taking my time on it :P i dont want any repeats

and by the way, my red oak and sugar maple longbows will be branched out and shown off then, because as for now i dont have pictures of full draw because i had to take pic myself and lets face it its hard (impossible really, unless you have a stand or something with timer even then its hard) to take a pic of yourself when your drawing back a bow

Also i KNOW these aren't the best pictures, but i had to make due with the few things i have, cant see fades too well, cant see side views on most, i apologize

All three look nice.  What are the weights?

No precise weight as of yet, however i am going to guess that my Sugar maple is at 40-55# full draw, i need to get a softer target than the tree in my yard and if u noticed in the pictures i have a 90 degree angle cliff/hill that if my arrow goes over it, its gone (and atm i am on my last arrow i have some dowels in the basement but no good arrowheads yet, always too light... 

i found a way to get DOWN THERe but the river is deep and cold... no way am i getting it if it goes in there, however there is a creek and a tunnel that runs into the river a foot deep at the deepest parts and the tunnel is about 3 inches deep, and if i wear my boots i can prolly set a target up at the end, this way if it goes down the tunnel and doesnt hit the target i get the current to bring it back
:P

Get a piece of heavy cloth or canvas 4' X 4' to hang a couple of feet behind the target.  Leave it hanging loose and it will stop the arrows.

I have the same in my back yard, chased a few arrows.  I picked up some hay bales(free on the side of the road) and shoot towards the front yard hill.  One on each, sides, back and top.  Haven't chased any more arrows.
