Title: Magyar bow build info
Post by: Magyar Blood on January 20, 2015, 10:55:21 pm

Hey, I'm a newbie here, and i would love 2 know if there is a build along for specifically a MAGYAR BOW here? Or if anyone has any info on how one is made.  I do have experience in making self bows and pvc bows, in fact, i made a pvc Magyar bow, but wild more like 2 make a horn bow.  Any knowledge isis welcome, than you!

Making hornbows is a complex, involved process with each step being pretty critical to the success of the whole. I don't know of any 'buildalongs' and think you will really struggle. My advice is to try and get a copy of Adam Karpowzi's book - it has everything you need to know. There is really too much information to put in a post here on how to do it from start to finish.
I'll try and help with specifics though.
