Title: new(possibly dumb) idea
Post by: BOWMAN53 on July 30, 2013, 07:56:57 pm
could you sinew back a molle? if you think about it,  a 66" molle is really only 46"from lever to lever. you could narrow the working limb to 1 3/8th so the amount of sinew used to cover the limbs is lessened. this is just an idea that popped into my head at while in the john lol

Don't know why you couldn't. I' would think handle through the working limbs and wrapped at the beginning of the levers.

I have dumb ideas all the time  ::)  I make knives, while knife handles and ill get this wild hair somewhere and try something different. A lot of the time it turns out nice. U just gotta go for it. I'm new to bowmaking and whatnot but I've researched it enough to see that if your design and ability are good then anything is possible. Well not anything. But u know :-X
