Jere's flightbows
willie:
Very Sweet,
and thanks for posting here at PA (I keep trying to follow along at the Finnish site, but your first language is not the easiest)
JNystrom:
Oh, thank you Willie, i'm not really expecting you to understand anything from our finnish forum! :D Though, i like the discourse platform more than this smf.
I processed the horns for the 3 new bows. Sadly my horns are pretty short and i need to join a ~3" piece on the middle to close the gap at handle. Its ok, since that area doesn't need to bend really and horn can end at mid kasan. Actually i haven't seen a lot of people having the horn end at mid kasan, even though it saves quite some mass and should benefit the flight bow.
One of the bows will have highlander horn, two others normal buffalo horn. Lengths will be 101cm, 106cm and 108cm (39,5", 41", 42").
JNystrom:
Here is some progress pictures. Actually i just sinewed a second layer, only the third left. I'll show some last phase pictures after that in the prezel shape.
The bows ended up with cores capable of 100 to 120 pounds. We'll see.
Aaron H:
Very nice Jere
NorthHeart:
Those bows are super intriguing!
Once i get the know-how im gonna try to make a similar composite bow for horseback archery, so things can be as they should :)
Is there a particular bow "style" that you recommend for a beginner composite horn bowyer...and if so why?
