Hornbeam A.L.B. 130#

(1/5) > >>

Badger:
  Just finsihed up a 130# @28" 72" American long bow.  This bow was built in a big part to test out my mass weight theory in higher weight bows. I was able to bring it in at exactly projected mass weight of 36 oz with 1" of set Imediately after unstringing and drawing the bow. As usual the stav mark St Louis sent me was top grade! Exceptional wood. If I have time I will hook up my shooting machine and run some arrows through it. Not really designed for the job it will be used for as I may have Marlon shoot this bow in the broadhead selfbow class. The small amount of set the bow took is the rock solid kind that I prefer.  Not really sure how well it will perform, I expect it will be decent. After I put a finsih on it and wrap the handle and such I will post more pics. Steve

Richard, I would be afraid big Jim might overdraw it and snap it. Steve
