One of the projects I'm working on is compiling information on the evolution of the wood bow/organic composites to the modern composite, the most common being a fiberglass backed and faced, laminated bow.    

Composites of organic or natural materials have been around a long time and remained popular through the 1940s until the plastics/fiberglass became dominant.

So far I've compiled information from ads and articles from American Bowman-Review and Archery from 1941-1952 and recorded it in an Excel Spreadsheet.  Just beginning.     I use a variety of methods to collect and record information, one being Excel.  Sample page of the draft shown here.  When finished I'll print the material off and bind a hard copy as well as retaining an electronic copy.  

Nice job! Looking forward to this research.
Wade was investigating the types of fiberglass used in the aluminum laminated Bears.

As Always!!! Off to a very nice piece of well researched material. Appreciate your efforts and the shared info.
