Padauk longbow

JJB · April 27, 2015, 10:19:00 PM

Here are a few pictures of a longbow I just finished up. It has a padauk riser with a yellow heart accent stripe with maple limbs. It's Binghams hybrid design, 62" 56# @ 28". I've only shot it before finishing it up but seems to shoot well, I'm looking forward to getting to know it a lot better soon.

That's one sharp bow Jay! I really like the contrast in woods! Bring it along next time you're down at the cabin and we'll put it to work stump shootin'

Very nice. That combination with the black glass is really classy.

I echo the above sentiments! Very neat and classy indeed.

Excellent! I recognized that limb profile right away. I have made many bows from the Bingham Hybrid design and really enjoy it.

Jay, That bow looks Great! You did well!

Don't know how I missed this one. What a great looking bow. The black glass and black grip just look awesome with the paduak.

fujimo · August 29, 2015, 02:02:00 PM

as all above- but i really like your tips...er i mean the bow tips( roybert censor moment!)
what was the white layer you used in the tip overlays- very neat, crisp looking bow.
how do you find the glass hybrids shoot compared to the glass rd longbows- faster? more or less stable? more or less forgiving?

LittleBen · August 29, 2015, 09:32:00 PM

Good catch Wayne, I assumed it was maple, but it could be white glass ... Would also like to know.
