Triceritop bow
« on: April 05, 2007, 05:45:08 pm »
I finished this a few months ago and wasn't going to post it. Manny gave me static about making bows with the wood he sent me so Ill post it for him. It is 40# at 25".  I wanted to try something new so I decided to make a bow for my nephew.  It has horn tips and a horn inlay rest. I had never done horn tips before so I thought why not on this one.  Ill go over to their house and get some full draw pictures, and get the dimensions. Justin

Really good looking bow Justin, I'm assuming since it's from Manny that it's Guava... :)

Thanks everyone.
Yes Pat, that is from the same batch I sent to you. Ill take a few more pictures when I get over to my brothers house. Hopefully his son will be home so he can draw it for the pictures.
Yes Greg it is guava.
Like I said, I have never done horn tips so I wanted to try them. Then I had a piece of horn with a crack that wouldn't work for a tip so I cut it in half and inlaid it 1/4" into the riser and cut out the shelf.  I didn't know if it would work. But I am happy with the results.  Justin

That's a great looking bow Justin.  I love the tiller at brace height.  Your horn tips look good too.  I can't wait to see your full draw shot.

Looks nice to me Justin, so why weren't you going to post it? The tips are neat, I'll have to try horn sometime. I played around with all kinds of woods for overlays, now I don't even put them on. Maybe I'm getting lazy?

OK dimensions are 60" NTN, 1 1/4" at the fades to midlimb, 3/8" just before horn. It has a pretty good hump in the upper limb where there was a knot on the back.  My nephew has had it for about 3 months and has been using it hard. It has about 1/2" of set and a lot of bumps and bruises.  :-\ Justin

Thanks for all the kind words.  No reason why I wasn't going to post it. I just don't post many bows. I guess I'm intimidated by the wicked bows some of you guys are making.  I had my brother bring it over to shoot tonight, but his boy was at baseball.  Justin

I like the tiller and tips on this bow.  How well does the horn rest work as a functional addition?  Does it add any noise to the draw or release, or affect the arrow flight?  Ron
