Mighty mouse :)

This was a bit of fun to use up some left over pieces. 40ish#@14. 24 inches long. Hornbeam handle and rowan for the rest of the core, deer leg sinew, croaker bladder glue.
I have made up some little hazel arrows and it doesn't half punch them out. I'll see if I can chrono some shots today.

Very nice work.  That would have fit right in at the Marshall shoot last summer.

Super cool, I like that!

That would be a nice Carriage bow. Or, it would be cool seeing your 8 year old shooting a real horn bow for a first bow.

Thanks fellas!
I chronoed it yesterday with a 300 or so grain arrow and it did about 165fps average with a 14 inch draw. I made up a flight arrow for a bit of fun with it and will launch it later today. It is about 120 grains.

[High-Desert]

[BowEd]

[wizardgoat]

Sweet little bow!
whats the overall length?

[mikekeswick]

Thanks fellas, it was fun to make
Overall length is 24 inches or so.

That's great I was thinking maybe something like that as a first try out horn/sinew bow
Can't wait for the flight arrow chrono reading....

Very cool! I have some little bighorn slats I didn't want to waist that should make a 20-25" bow when I have time.

[mikekeswick]

I got the flight arrow finished, 148 grains. 220 - 225 fps. I haven't had a chance to shoot it for distance yet. It has kept a lot of reflex and doesn't really show much sign of stress.

Yikes! that's fast

Wow..
