Title: New Bow
Post by: UnderControl16 on May 20, 2009, 07:28:00 PM
What do you guys think about a 72" long bow, 65# @ 28" Birch riser (2 x 10) bow is .75" at top and 1.5" at center. limbs are oak and hard maple. Do you think that it will work? Tillering is going to start to night hopefully.... will post photo's depending on how it goes...

nevermind bow just snapped right above where the riser ended. maple snapped clean in two but the oak didn't break at all....
