Self bows with horn bow stats

<< < (4/6) > >>

jaxenro:
Why don't you try making the identical bow in horn and self wood yourself that way you can keep as. any of the other variables the same as you can and then compare the results?

Although a true test would also require making a horn bow to self bow specs to compare? Like a horn ELB design? It seems like the differing designs are to bring forth the potential of the differing materials

sleek:
Horn takes way too much work to do that with. But i have seen a few large ones built.

jaxenro:
Maybe partner with a horn bow builder then? You each make two to identical specs, one design favoring wood the other horn?

BowEd:
sleek...I'd hate to be accused of trying to stop you from doing what you wanna do and the way you wanna do it.
You really don't need a horn bow maker to get this done.There is plenty of info out there a person can get.Comparing curves,designs, and statistics etc. if accurately done.You seem to know what that's all about already or should have a good idea about it to go on an adventure like this.Then it's just a matter of making the bows like you said.

jaxenro:
Sorry if I spoke out of turn I wasn't trying to say he shouldn't do it his way. Just thought it might be interesting to see tha same design made with different materials
