Title: BBO Kids bow
Post by: kodiakkid on April 28, 2010, 06:28:00 AM
This is a BBO bow that didn't go as planned. I hated to trash it so I cut it down and made it 27# @ 25". I figure it might make some kid smile. Got to build a string for it, put a few coats of tru-oil on it then I thought I would post it in the traditional bows forum and give it away. Paul<><

You have hinges at both dips. You need to keep that area stronger/wider and tiller the limbs to bend more.

Cool.  Every kid should have a bow  :)

R/D BBOs are tricky at the fades.  The hardest part is getting tiller to round out.
