Sinew Backed short bow.
« on: April 23, 2016, 09:10:03 am »
Hi guys, this days i finished a short bow, backed with sinew. The wood is Cornus sanguinea. I had this short piece of wood, and said to give it a try. The bow is 54'' long NTN, it pulls 35lbs @ 28''. I  pulled it up to 29'', and the draw is smooth. I'v shoot already  a couple of arrows, and it goes really nice..the arrows war not realy what it should be for such a light Bow ( 400 grains), but the bow is shooting still quite nice...not crazy fast, but realy decent with those arrows.
The handle is wraped in Rawhide, and the Noks, are just directly cut into the wood, reinforced with sinew ofcours.

Nice work!
I would like to see the bow drawn by hand. That tiller stick pics aren't good for your bow, you asking a lot leaving a wooden bow at fd that long.

Hi, its not a tiller stick..its a tiller tree.. i took the picture quite close and thats why you cannot see the rest of that tiller tree thing..its actualy, an entire workbench, and at the end has a stick with a pulley sistem, and i can remove it, when i need to make it smaller :). I dont use a tiller stick animoore for yeaaars. The picture is thenn rotated, to have a more natural look of the bow, whenn is being hold in the hand.
