I made it from a 19 year old seasoned stave, and draw was 3lbs. heavier than the rest. The stave was narrow so I could only get one ,and an eighth wide at the fades. Hard shooter for what it is. I shot it with a 10 strand low stretch 652 string.

If you are so inclined, I'd be happy to design a fast self bow in your draw weight. I'm surprised by those low numbers. They can be much faster.

Check you PMs Sleek, it's not what you think.
bassman211:
The first bow is sinew backed Osage, and the second bow is sinew backed elm. Thanks to Bob Barnes for posting the pics. Both those bows shoot 140 to 145 average. Sleek I am shooting 12 GPP. 25 inch draw 30 lb bows. I shoot gap, and a 30 inch arrow. Those speeds work fine for me at 12 ,15, and 20 yds were accuracy is concerned. Sleek thanks for your kind offer. So now we have a challenge for all of those who may be curious, and experienced bowyers with making a 30 lb bow, shooting a 370 gr arrow at 25 inch draw, and posting the speeds, design , etc. I would love to see your results. The bows above are over built for durability, and longevity, and I know that. That would be another consideration.
