160lb Laminate bow finished - Update page 3
Ian.:
Hi Everyone
To keep the momentum going from the last two monster Elm bows that were posted recently I though I would share this bow with everyone, it marks a bit of a mile stone I set my self a goal a few years ago to one day pull my bodyweight, I have struggled to make a bow of this weight, a mix of poor design and poor timber has made hitting 130lb difficult let along anything over 140, after changing a few things and by chance buying some very good maple in a pile of Elm I managed it. Pictures of me drawing it will be posted in a few days when my arms feel up to it.
Specs Maple/Ipe/Hickory 160lb at 32 about 76" long.
