VenomBOWslinger:
Hey guys no pics as of yet..I been making tons of flat bows and Holmgaards lately I thought I would jump over here for a bit.  This section is like a different breed and I can use the change of pace.  Well lets see this is what I have to work with maybe someone can give me a few pointers... I have Black locust, hickory, ash, red oak, hard maple, and birch...I want to make something in or around the 80lb range Im not trying to kill my arm..I need some inspiration so if anyone feels free to do so it would be great.  Thanx guys!!!

I'm just finishing bow #6, Hickory ELB 55# 28". I was working on 60" but.... ya know how it goes.  72" groove to groove.
It flings my 3/8" DIA.home-despot arrows 150 yards. I don't think its a "war-bow" but my 46 year old eyes have to real work to see where they hit. I need to make some bodkins >:D  Have fun!!!
