New years longbow
« on: January 01, 2022, 04:08:37 pm »
Been a while since I posted. Sure wish they would update the website so I don't get a warning ever on time I come on. Haven't posted in a while due to that but I've still been making some. I actually been enjoying shooting fiberglass with micro carbon arrows!  Yesterday I barricaded myself in my workshop for a fair part of the day. Took a primo stave from Clint and by the end of the day had it shooting. Osage/ 67.5ttt/42@27. Danish oil finish. Thanks for looking

Beautiful longbow, especially for a one-day build. I especially like the handle you've crafted, as it is the "user interface" for the bow.

Thanks guys.

Simk: as for the brace height I have no problem raising till it feels good. Have not tuned any arrows to it but that's where the brace felt good with some arrows that weighed around 500 grains.
