I'm bending 2 Guava bows untill they break !!! ( pics)
Hillbilly:
Have you noticed them taking on any more set after that torture?? damn, don't think I've ever seen a bow pulled anywhere near 42" :o
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Ho yeah, it took some set ;D ; ;D ;D ;D I'll take pictures
NOMADIC PIRATE:
....well, the selfbow broke a hair before 40
duffontap:
Finally! that's quite a bend. I don't think vine maple is that strong in tension. I broke the bow pictured at just about 32".
J. D. Duff (real men break their bows by hand ;D )
Marc St Louis:
Very interesting. You could tell it was going to break where it did. If you could have made the outer limb bend some it would have gone further
