Primitive Archer

Hamish, I enjoy the short ones too. Maybe because I am pretty short myself. My normal draw is only a few inches longer than I’m drawing this one and it seems like I can shoot pretty well at a 20” draw. I can anchor at my chin.

Thanks Burnsie. I’m in the thumb of Michigan. Dave is kinda on the way to Arvin’s for me. I actually took three days traveling to Arvins

I stopped by Bob Barnes in Arkansas to.

Was a good trip. On the way home we stopped in Clarksville to see a high school buddy of mine and meet up with pappy. I was there for the blizzard of 25. Really enjoyed our trip.

Thanks pappy. I would say it shouldn’t take long to finish it up, but I tend to shoot them awhile before I finish them.

Looking good BJ, looking forward to seeing it finished, Burnsie Arvin is in TX. 😊😉 Pappy

Arvin declined to enter that bow because he didnt do all the work to it, which is very respectable and honorable.

  Spine is extremely important in any kind of bow or even an atlatl. It might be arguable as to how far off you can be and still maintain a decent pattern. The closer to center cut your bow is the stiffer the spine it will tolerate. I like to stay within about 5# spine of what I find works best. There are a lot of articles on line about tuning and finding the correct spine. Well worth your time if you plan to stay in archery.

Thanks for entering everyone. It’s nice to see enough bows to keep up with the BOM

I’m wondering where Arvins hole in the bow is? I’m pretty sure it would have gotten some votes.

Thanks again everyone
