Title: 2nd bow with the long string
Post by: Strongbow88 on July 14, 2008, 10:13:30 pm

This is my second bow. Its hickory 68inches long 2'' to midlimb tapering to 1/2 for now will narrow to 3/8 later.How does it look so far. now looking at the pics the left limb looks stiff mid-limb.
what do you think?
                                                      Thanks,

I would try to get a little more bending near the handle on both limbs from the end of the fads out to mid limb. Jawge

When you use photobucket, clicked on the image code instead of the link code or whatever:  when you copy it into this thread, it just displays the picture instead of a link.
