bamboo self bow build
WhistlingBadger:
Really nice. Those hollow-belly bamboo limbs look so cool. I bet it's going to be faster than fast.
mmattockx:
Another beautiful bow. You do some really fantastic work, Dave. I look forward to seeing some tiller pics and maybe a video of it in action.

That looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing the draw pics!

Im looking forward to chronograph tests. The critical arrow weights to test are 450 grains and between 150 to 170 gr. I have high hopes for this bow, especially in broadhead. Flight may prove difficult due to the longer draw length. Short stiff arrows do better than longer ones due to spine and weight.

Thanks guys! I’m hoping to get a string made this week if I can sort it out. I’ve got some flax linen I’ll try first and if that fails I’ll used a sinew material string used for old tennis rackets. I’ve heard of good results with those. I’ll make a b55 string for now to do some testing but will need to get on the arrows like you say Kevin. I’ve got some 29” shafts ready to get at those weights. I plan to barrel round the mid section of the arrows. I’ve got a few to replicate from Arvin so here’s hoping I can figure it out. Thanks again guys for all the input.
