Sinew cross section question

<< < (3/3)

possum:
The reason it is 1 1/2 inches it has quite a few knots that I wasn't able to get out.  Some are big.  Now that I think about it I could've probably removed them since I sinew backed it.  Can I take down the sides if the sinew went down over the sides a bit?  I really don't know about removing the knots.  A couple are fairly good sized.  I'll have to see about getting a few picks of them.

here are some pics

belly shot of knots

back shot of knots (little blurry)

profile.  little more reflex since I thinned the belly a little.  It was quite thick at first.

tips, to keep string on.
The sinew doesn't come down the sides as much I  thought. ::)  I could narrow it some.  Will I need to wrap the sinew?
thanks for all the help.

Mark, that bow still has maintained its draw weight very well, going to bring it to the flight shoots again this year, I have had some trouble matching arrows for good flight, I have some real good shaft material now. Steve

That bow should shoot an arrow out there far. I remember I got about 240 fps with 300 grain arrows out of it. That should be good for at least 350 yards
