bamboo backed and bellied hickory bow
Selfbowman:
I’ve built that design for some years . If the bow is tillered good it just takes set. If built these bows for 6-8 IBO shooters that are still shooting the bows. They draw smooth, are fast and reliable. But yes they will only break records for a certain amount of time. The design has won many IBO world championships. So don’t knock it till you tried it. Dave is better at it than me so I expect some of Arvin’s records to go down. I am excited to see his interests in the sport. I will continue to help him and others to shoot for distance. If it’s not your cup of tea I understand. I don’t play video games.🤠🤠

Beautiful bow, Dave. A couple questions:
1) Did you pre-bend the back lam and/or core lam before gluing them up with the 4.5" of reflex?
2) It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like you flattened the belly lam completely, removing all the crown, nodes, etc. Is that correct?

Thanks Arvin! I doubt I’m better then you. I may get lucky with your help. Gotta figure out a proper string now and some flight arrows.
