I need help making this bow.
« on: February 12, 2008, 09:26:09 pm »
I've heard this forum has some very nice people, so I have a request.

Is there any way someone can show me some plans on how to make a pyramid bow?
I've read a list of the dimensions, but I find it very hard to understand it all without pictures, no clue why.

Thanks for any help.

If you have dimensions you can build one by following the steps for most any bow, just adjust the dimensions.  Is this going to be a board bow or a self bow? What kind of wood are you planning to use?  Someone posted some beautiful pictures of a pyramid here the other day but I cant remember who.  Justin

Are you wanting to make a wide pyramid 3-4" wide, or are you just wanting a bow? If you are just after a bow, you could follow Gordon's buildalong.  http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,4815.msg66200.html#msg66200
