Max. length?

<< < (6/9) > >>

Bearded bowyer:
Just out of interest. is there such a thing as a re-curve bow with similar draw length and power?

WillS:
You mean are there any recorded examples of 150#ish recurve bows?

Bearded bowyer:
yes.
And would you use a similar draw length to a warbow?

AndiE:
Hi

I know somebody who has an older Hoyt recurve with 90#@32".I don`t know if there are stronger recurves because I don`t know much about recurves because they don`t please me.

I read somewhere that there were 95" long warbows in use in south america I think. Or was it africa, or somewhere else? I don`t know it anymore!  :o
Does anyone here know more?

Kind regards
Andi

WillS:
One of the recent discussions on the other thread (Evidence....) mentioned very heavy drawweight bows from China/Japan.  Perhaps they're worth looking into - I don't know if they were recurves or not?
