Title: Glass question
Post by: hawkguy on October 10, 2012, 08:01:00 AM
I'm wanting to build my first bow. My question is this. Why do you guys buy glass strips instead of just applying mat and resin to your bows? Seems far cheaper. Is there a big quality difference? Just learning, thanks for any replies.

If you are wanting to learn to build glass bows, save yourself a lot of grief and money. Choose a proven design and follow the specs and you will have a shooter.
