Quick question, anyone have any idea how many bows a medieval (for arguments sake let’s say 15th century) bowyer would be required to produce block blast? Would be nice to know.

Are you trying to calculate yield for a particular historical scenario?

I would absolutely NOT trap the belly. That is a recipe for failure with black locust. Id build it with a rectangular cross section or a slight crown.

The bow weighs 46.2 oz right now. Probably take 4-5oz out of handle section. I think this will finish at about 28oz. That leaves a lot to remove.

The bow is still about 90# so I’m going to try something. I’m going to trap the belly . I dividedthe limb width by 3  leaving the center flat and will scribe the edges to a 1/4” from the back. Why because I will completely lose a growth ring on one end . want to keep three growth rings if possible. Anyone done this with BL

That would be great BJ. I’ll keep that in mind and let you know!

I’d really like that too.
