All Wood Takedown Limbs
« on: December 10, 2008, 08:44:49 pm »
O.k. I tried this before and I want to get some advice.
I have a good riser for a takedown bow. I want to make some ALL wood limbs for it and I would like to hit 50# @ 28"
The attachment is a drawing that I started.
Thanks for any input!

I posted on the other thread but I will respond here again.  I would go with a Bamboo back Hickory core and Ipe belly.  Realistically you aren't going to put a ton of stress on the wood since the limbs are already setting in a deflex position. I think a boo back or hickory back on Ipe, Osage or many other woods will work.  Justin

 If you don't go with a Lamination, I'd use an Osage limb, with about 3 courses of sinew. But if you use lam's i'd make the limbs about 2" wide at the mounts and most of the way down the limb.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
