Black Locust Longbow
« on: February 12, 2009, 07:02:08 am »
Hi,

this is a BL Longbow from 11/08. It's 67" long and 44#@27".
Limbs are 1,5 wide tapering down to 0,5 mm (don't know how much inch that is  ???).
I'm thinking of shooting only bows with a drawweight about 45# because they are easy to shoot and very accurate.

Real good looking bow. Love those skinny tips. What kind of handle wrap is that?

It's a cow leather handle wrap - a long piece wrapped several times around the handle and fixed with superglue  ;D

Fine looking bow and what tiny tips. No black locust around here but cut a honey locust couple weeks ago - I'm inspired to give it a try.

Great bow. Take a look at Gordon's thread on taking bow pictures...especially of the full draw. Got this fine bow bookmarked, too, for Feb Self BOM.  Thanks for the posts.

Yeah, I know what you mean with the fulldraw and the backround - but it's the only place in my house where I can make a full draw picture with the selfphotooption on my camera  ;D
