Osage bow for 33 inch draw

<< < (3/8) > >>

bradsmith2010:
if its bend in the handle,, he problaby wont draw that long,, if you want him to draw a little shorter just make it a bit heavier,,  >:D

bradsmith2010:
a sinew bow just does not have to be longer than twice the draw,,,especially if you recurve the tips a bit,, its just not gonna break,,
but I do agree if its a bit longer the string angle makes it a bit easier to shoot accurately,,

sleek:
Go with a deflex/reflex/recurve design and you can pull impossible lengths. How wide of a stave do you have? Width will be your friend.

bradsmith2010:
agree the reflex deflex will draw longer,, I have not done it,, but simon recommends it,, that and sleek is enough for me

Inch, and a half at the fades to 1/2 inch at the tips flat bow style is what I have to work with, and a good amount of sinew. The stave is 68 inches long, and clean but ,for one small knot on the back. I was thinking 2 layers of sinew. Thanks for your input guys.
