My first "recurve"....
« on: February 08, 2010, 04:19:50 am »
Well, it actually worked! This is a 58" NTN unbacked red oak pyramid board bow.  I boiled and bent the tips for a static recurve and it is considerably faster than a similar poundage straight longbow I have!  Specs are 30# @ 24".  I built this for my buddy's 12yo son in Washington.  Hopefully he will like it and maybe bag a few raccoons with it!!











And freshly unstrung -

Very cool, the extra deep tip overlays add to the look, V stylish.
That's one lucky kid getting that bow...
