Faux bow trade 2022

Hi all,

I wanted to start this thread for anyone like me that wanted to do the bow trade but wasn't confident enough or experienced enough to do it. I figured if anyone wanted to join this we could post everything along the same lines and follow the same deadline and see what we all ended up with. At the end there wouldnt be any trading this would just be for ourselves or maybe for a friend. This is just a fun exercise in bow building with a timeline to make me get off my dupa and do it.

Allyn T:
Figured I would start. I'll making a bow to my specs, 50-60 lbs at 29 inch draw

mmattockx:
Ha! This is perfect, I'm in. :o ;D

I was on the fence about joining the trade mostly due to how much stuff I have to do with our new house and the acreage yard work that will be coming with spring. We were going to be building a garage in the summer as well but wood prices have delayed that until fall or spring 2023, so I suddenly have way more spare time that could be used to make a bow.

I already have the next two bows designed. The first is a 66" NTN static recurve, ~40lb @ 28". That is the one I will be documenting here. The other one that is lined up is a 66" R/D design, same weight range at 28". If the summer goes really well I will get it posted up here as well.

This seems fun. I thought last year that I would feel ready for the bow trade this year, but I definitely did not. I'll pick out a stave when I am home this week. I want a nice longer stiff handled bow for hunting this coming season.

Allyn T:
Welcome guys the more the merrier : )
