Question about Osage and bamboo??
« on: Today at 12:06:58 pm »
Is Osage or bamboo stronger in compression? Has anyone tried putting bamboo on the belly of Osage selfbow?

I know folks that make boo back and belly bows but never heard of boo belly Osage bow. Generally compression in Osage isn't a problem even with a boo backing. I'd like to hear what your thinking is.

Pat I have a boo backed Osage that holds two flight broadhead records. The bow took some set though. Probably my tiller or lack of.i think the boo over powered the Osage. So my thought is reverse the materials and see what happens. Will the back fail? Just curiosity Getting me. I know it would be a tiller nightmare but I think I’m going to try it.
