hickory bow (not for bom) flight shooting results w/hunting arrows
« on: November 16, 2010, 10:29:33 pm »
heres one i just finished yesterday , been layin round waiting on me to get the time. this bow is inspired some by a flight bow picture in the BB and the rest im blamin on Rich R. it fits very similar with the infantry bows he has built lately . this ones 59 inch nock to nock 15 inch working limbs , 6 inch nonbending handle and fades . working limbs start at 1 7/8th inch and taper to 1 inch at the levers . levers are 1/2 inch for their length. got a little paint and body work going on and an antler rest. 61 lbs at 28 inches and this thing really flings them . should get some distance measurements soon since i dont have a chrono

Cool Bow Ken.  Looking forward to hearing the cast report.  I've got to try a molle one of these days.  I suspect in my dry climate a hickory Molle would be quick but on the edge of death >:D

Very nice bow, Ken. The color combo makes a pretty good camo effect.  These bows are stiring my imagination lately. I've built Holmie type bows but not a Molle. It is almost like an Asiatic bow laid flat.
  Nate, hickory would be an excellent choice for your dry climate.
