Title: Lilah's bow full draw added
Post by: bubby on March 03, 2017, 04:57:43 pm

If you guys remember the bow Levi my grandson is building Lilah is his 4 year old sister and she is quite the pistol let me tell ya😉 well 2 weeks ago she asked her Mom if i would make her a bow and some arrows. So i went to town on a 48" pc of hard maple board, i took lots of pics for a build a long i will post later. Standard pyramid 1-1/2" at the fades and around 14#@20" and draws 24". I put elk antler tip overlays on it and as lilah is a bit of a wild child tried to match her up with a wild bow and backed it with zebra print fabric. I will try and get a full draw this weekend if she cooperates

The string is tan and teal d-97 with orange finger savers, i think a must on a kids bow for one so young. I made her 2 privet shaft arrows one spiral fletch and one standard, she really flings an arrow!! Both limbs have a little twist in opposite directions but this doesn't affect anything and is quite common in board bows

  As a man with four daughters, that little girl looks like some of your best work!   :laugh: :laugh:

  And that sounds like the perfect bow for her.

That's what being grandpa is all about Bubby. After I made my bows for myself the next 4 I made where for my grandkids.

Those kids bows are tougher to make than people think. Very little room for error. She looks like a pistol.  ;D Sweet little bow and adorable little kid.
