forward mount longbow

[bigbob2]

this is the second of these bows I have made although the first was straight laid and this has some   reflex. It is 55# @ 28'' and 66'' NTN.

Riseris Red box/ Osage and same with belly lams.It is very quiet and has a good turn of speed. Very forgiving too with grip forward of limbs.

[bigbob2]

should be a very strong riser with all the laminations.

I like it Bob! Good job on it.

Very nice Bob.  I've also become a fan of the forward riser.

[bigbob2]

Thanks Trux and John. They definitely handle very well and being cut closer to center are very accurate too.

I like the design. Is it a glass bow.?  What are the lamination specs.

[monterey]

Very eye-catching.

[bigbob2]

thanks guys.Wolftrail it is indeed a glass bow and the specs are 3 lams at .001 taper ea.  for total of .318 and one parallel of .070. glass was black ul at .o39 and clear  UL at .042 Like most bows where the glass runs over the top it is quite fiddly marrying stack to form, but perseverance wins in the end!
