Title: Self bow limb tips
Post by: perry f. on January 01, 2014, 07:51:00 PM
I've only made one self bow in my life, and although it is still shooting, I've never been happy with it. I'm wanting to redo the limb tips and handle. I'd like to see some of your limb tips for ideas. Thanks!!!

I make mine very similar to Soy's bow with the wood overlay. I usually go with horn but I keep 'em really low profile like that.
