HHB Warbow: A build along

<< < (8/10) > >>

Ian.:
Looks real nice, I always did wonder why there is so much emphasis on the D section, its a Victorian term. Warbows on the whole are much flatter.

Marc St Louis:
I have made the horn nocks and glued them on.  I took a picture of them on the bow but it was blurry so I'll take another tomorrow.  I did get my wife to take a picture of me trying to pull it back, didn't get very far



And here is another picture



The bow pulls about 140# @ 32" on my scale but I suspect that my scale is a bit off and it most likely pulls a few pounds more.  I can pull 90# with a bit of a struggle but this bow locks me up at about 16" of draw

Ian.:
Excellent, nice small nocks to help with distance too. And boy do you make that bow look small Marc, never realised you were so tall.

Marc St Louis:
Well Ian I am 6' 2" and the bow is angled back as I am holding it.  I was a bit concerned about the size of the nocks, they are quite small.  The only problem with making bows like this is that I can't test them.

Marc St Louis:
Here are a couple pics of the nocks, they still need a bit of spit and polish.
