can someone please help me I am looking for a blue print for a R/D longbow.
I built this form using a template I got from KennyM , the form was 95% complete in this pic.. (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/longbowformAug09-1.jpg)
I think Binghams may have one.

Have to agree with Jess above.
Good Luck
Hi, I made a simple one for hickory and bamboo backed longbows/selfbows using the shrink wrap method with a 2x4's and two c clamps using t-88 epoxy. Got the plan from 3 Rivers Archery, Rudderbows publishes the small booklet. Was worth the 8 bucks. Now for fiberglass... have not messed with it yet.
68 inch 2x4, two three inch cuts, two 1.5 inch cuts, glue and screw three inchers on ends (straight up) and 1.5 inchers in middle section about three inches apart. Handle sits there (duh), clamp about 1/3 of way down from string nock area. Just get the booklet if interested.
Here is my form that I use:
The dimensions are metric so a conversion is needed. You need to cut-out the riser section yourself. The other pic shows the bow in the clamp.
Good luck,
Arnold
