My second horn bow
« on: September 12, 2009, 07:04:51 am »
My second horn/sinew bow in my life , this time a little more difficult. Shape and type of work takeoff on hungarian recurve , but recurve tips in hungarian are other - here is my invention ;). Hickory core , elm recurve and handle. 130 cm , about 40 lb. Bow shoot very nice , but ofcourse without speed record - horn and sinew make bow havy ( 420 g) so with this draw weight like I said very good but not great. Almost 30 cm of reflex

Very nice Henry. Full draw looks great. What kind of horn are you using for your horn bows?

WOW! Awesome profiles. Your full draw tiller is perfect. Looks like you covered the inner limbs with leather?
