bamboo self bow build
superdav95:
hey guys. This is not your typical self bow build. it will be a 58" ntn bamboo recurve self bow that where the limbs have been z spliced at the handle. This was then put into a slight deflex at the handle and then glued to a handle. I will be gluing a horn plate over top of the z splice on the back side and possibly finger grooves added later. anyway here are some build progress pics. Im hoping this bow will be about 50lbs at 28"
Selfbowman:
Love it David that will probably hunt at the flight shoot. Can’t wait to hear speed test.
Badger:
Nice profile, looking forward to the final results.

Yes I’m hoping it does well in speed testing to see if it will hunt at flight. Fingers crossed. I’ve got a couple heavy Turkish horn bows I’m going bring too to see how they do! Should be fun.
