Title: Need info for a different tack
Post by: bubby on November 14, 2020, 07:05:39 PM
I've always built wood only bows, now I'm thinking about going to the dark side/glass bows LOL. So I'm needing lots of info and need at least a good starting point

Buy one of Kenny's kits? Everything is worked out for you, he is great to deal with and his prices are very reasonable.

Highly recommend Kenny's R/D 2 easy to build very docile good speed bow, plus every thing you learn from it will apply to more advanced design builds , plus's Kenny loves to rag chew about building bows so that's a big plus you can't get others places ! Good luck !
