who's working on composite horn bows?
simson:
I'm currently working on an indian hornbow (cow horn, spliced). Will be 38" ntn. I have three layers sinew on it. The tips moved already a great distance and induced a wild reflex, looks almost like part of a circle.
Unfotunately I got a bit of twist and one limb needs moore sinew (is a bit weaker than the other).
So I'm interested in how do you guys work out the twist? With gentle heatfrom heatgun?
Oh, and I really appriciate this new subforum!!!!

I finished this Magyar a few weeks ago, my son has no chance to draw it....140 cm tip to tip, 90+#
Tc:
and a few more projects are on the way.......
james parker:
Tc,, congrats!! that's a fine example of the Magyar bow,, how about some full draw pics?
simson,, can you post some pics of the bow,, it will be much easier to advise after viewing them..

Tc:
Thanks James. I left the bow strung for a day and a half to make drawing easier.....still it is not that easy :o
