Title: Life Span Question
Post by: J. Holden on July 14, 2010, 10:12:00 AM

I'm in the process of finishing up my first red oak board bow. Assuming I finish it properly and care for it properly, what is the life span would you think of a bow like this? I know I shouldn't assume, but I'm curious how attached I should get to this thing. Also wondering if I should shoot it this fall or keep my take down recurve set up. Thanks gentlemen!

P.S. When I finish I'll be sure to post pics!
