Here's a fulldraw picture of the bow.  That's the string that came with it.  It's canted just a touch toward the camera, so sorry.  Also, no comments about my right elbow!  I know it's high.

Nice job on the bow.  I am also interested in this.  Can we have more info?

[Frank]

Well if no one will post, then I will.

Both Rudderbows and Attilasarchery carry U-finish horse bows.  Both kits come in under 200 bucks.

Good luck.

Per the regulations on this site, I don't want to mention the dealer until they are listed as a sponsor.  I've contacted him and given him the info, but he's not gotten back to me yet.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  

All who requested info should have gotten a pm by now.  If not, let me know.

[MercilessMing]

Thanks for the info.  Shoot stragit!

Okay, all.  I want to clear up one piece of info I sent in the pm to some of you.  I told you that the siyahs were both epoxied and pinned with a flush-cut screw, and that that made nervous.  Well, read this recent post by SiegWorks, who is currently making some horsebows for a TV series.  Looks like that just might be the best way to go afterall.  He had this to say:

Originally posted by walkabout:
the siyahs made me nervous, even though i braced it and drew it before doing anything.

SiegeWorks' response:
That was one thing that scared the heck outta me when i first started building these type of bows. I have seen a 50# throw a tip THROUGH a tin wall of a shed and go about 30 feet. I personally had a 60# blow both tips off at full draw cutting the top of my left hand. One of the tips landed about 100 feet away the other we never found. If the tips are not pinned (if you got the bow from atilla they are pinned) pin them AND wrap them!!! Some cheap insurance in doing that.

Hope this helps!
