(1/5) > >>

recurve shooter:
sup fellers? i got my futrue sour wood arras drying, but i got a question. can i use some regular home depot dowls to make some decent arras to shoot till my sourwood cures and turns into arras? if so, is there any special trick to it i need to know?

david w.:
YES dowels work great.  Just make sure they are straight grained.  You wouldnt want it to send a splinter through your hand while shooting.

recurve shooter:
yeah, no crap there. what size should i use?

Kegan:
Get straight grained 99 cent oak dowels, 3/8" for bows 55# and larger, and 5/16" for under 50#. My brother uses them with a great deal of success. I've used true birch dowels for my longbowsand like them very much too.

recurve shooter:
cool, thanx alot fellers!
