Title: How do you???
Post by: bowhntineverythingnh03743 on May 06, 2011, 04:16:24 pm

Hey PA-
 it has been some time since I have been on the sight. I am currently at a stand still with my first osage bow because I am waiting on a stringer. Since I am itching to continue making a bow I figured I would start another one. I would like to make a long bow style with a shelf cut just ever so slightly into the handle. I would like it to be 64-66 inches TTT and around 55-60# @28 inches.

Any ideas on the layout of this bow???

Thanks guys you all rock.... Justin

  Just go to malmart and get some inch strap fold the ends and sew them. I've even cut up a couple rachet straps.
