Title: first recurve
Post by: RECURVE319 on May 23, 2012, 07:48:00 PM
Hello folks

I will start out by saying that this is my first post. I've been building self bows for 19 years and never had the guts to post anything here. I always wanted a little recurve that I could rabbit hunt with. I had a bunch of hornbeam that was right for the job, and backed it with sinew and covered it with a fake snake skin fabric, with horn nocks 50"ntn and 50lbs at 26" The tiller needs a little work but she's getting there.

Rick.

That is a cool bow, I am beginning to like the shorter ones more and more all the time.
