Title: Longbow for Eagle Scout
Post by: Arrowind on August 30, 2015, 04:44:15 pm

Here is a bow I made for a young man who recently earned his Eagle Scout Award.
He has worked hard and is an excellent example to the other boys.
I hope he enjoys this bow.  It's been fun to make and is fun to shoot!

Hickory Longbow
Slight rounded belly
72" TTT
42#@28"
Buffalo Horn Tips and Arrow Shelf
Leather Wrapped Handle
FF String (8 strands I believe)
