mini turkish horn bow
« on: March 16, 2011, 09:50:36 pm »
just wanted to say i did not make this, but felt it should go in the bows section, not around the campfire since its all natural.

i am almost to my dream of owning a turkish horn bow.  this one is half size.  guy said it can be pulled to 13-14 inches.  it takes a lot of nerve bending a bow this size that distance!  22.5 inches strung.  arrows 14.5 inchs long 110 grains in weight.  drawn to about 12 inches, it shoots 152fps!  thats just awesome!  im going to try to assemble a heavier arrow to see if it still shoots the same.     enjoy the pics!

Dude that is ill. What draw weight is it? I would find something like that much harder to construct the typical size...
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Cool bow.  Did you get that from Mike? 

Nevermind, just saw your post at PP that it was Mike's mini bow.  Lucky you.  Looks like a good one!

 I ve witnessed its forerunner in action, and its a simply beautiful minature bow. Have no fear though it is a phenomenal weopon and spits out arrows at incredible speed.. NOT a toy.
