Turkish flight bow 43.5 inches
mikekeswick:
I'm just tillering a new Turkish flight bow. It is going to be around 70 -75#, has plenty of reflex and a weight of 320 grams :) Non matching belly/horn grooves, 5 piece rowan core with hornbeam handle and ash tips. Buffalo and deer leg sinew.
It has mega early string tension and draw weight......hopefully it will make it to full draw!
Pictures to follow.

woah
yay non matching! matching just sounds like too much work for not enough gain, though maybe you have to apply less glue?
Good luck!
Stick Bender:
I'm just curious what's wrong with non matching horn belly groves thought they where just a small percentage less strong joint ?
mikekeswick:
The first picture is with my Turkish warbow to show the difference in shape. The 2nd is it braced and the 3rd is at about 22 inches. Full draw on this one will be 27/28.
Force/draw on this to 22 is - 21#@10 , 31#@12 , 39#@14 , 46#@16 , 50#@18 , 55#@20 , 61#@22
The bow is 43 1/2 inches.
