Will Hickory make a good heavy bow

<< < (10/10)

Ian.:
What I found was 'yes' a good one that will make the weight but using a belly of something equally good will make a real stunner of a bow so if you have a 1/2" bit of good hickory you've got the making a heavy and fast bow.

Before this bow cracked it out shot just about anything Ive shot before it, easily 260 yards with a livery/standard, it will be repaired and used as my main bow.

Pat B:
I'm really proud of all you war bow guys for holding your tongues.  ;D  It's so nice when ya'll play nice!  8)  Keep up the good work! ;)  Cheers

Marc St Louis:
There was a flight shooter by the name of Jeremiah Rutherford that passed away recently that made very heavy bows out of Hickory.  He holds the unlimited primitive broadhead record

Ian.:
Im going to glue up a Hickory Wych Elm stave and try for 160lb  I think this combo may just do it.
