Limb length Turkish bows

<< < (6/7) > >>

Stick Bender:
Hear is some interesting handle designs for the Magyar bow & siyas I have seen around the net 3 peace Magyars done with similar to C  with steamed bent single peace core  & 130 Deg  angle , also have seen  2 peace laminated siyas made out of strait grained wood vs crotch wood  every thing about this design seems would be a little simpler then the Turk bow

Siyas

Bjoern Sofeit:
130° in the grip or in the ear are too much. Both will make the bow unstable and call for problem fixing that shouldn't be there in the first place. The acute angle in the grip will also make it stack earlier in the draw.

Peter Bencsik recommended 150° in the grip to me.

BowEd:
Seems the magyar might need to be sinew wrapped in handle and siyah.The turk version not.
