My new Hornbow
simk:
thanks guys! Waiting for the sinew to dry then do fps off course ;D
simk:
there was a little sun today and I couldn't wait again ;D the other bow is 100 gramms lighter and of course faster. but im fine with this:
10gpp 184fps
9gpp 190fps
8,3gpp 198fps
its not an overbow. seems like I have to repair the other one ;D
(its warm and humid here - maybe in dryer climate and a little more curing there will be a improvement)
bownarra:
Not bad numbers :)
Have you been shooting it? How is it holding up?
simk:
yeah, put some 200 arrows through. nicely holds 12" of reflex. now waiting for the pitch sinew protection to dry out...takes longer than the sinew itself 😀 removed another 40 gramms of mass,...20gramms from the levers...curious about difference in speed after that. will post pics of finished bow (-S
bownarra:
Great, glad it has worked out for you and looking forward to more pictures :)
