Hi,

Try the ATARN website.

Failing that, buy Adam Karpowitz's book on Turkish/Ottoman bow construction (the best bow building book I've ever bought).

I agree with Barney - get Adam Karpowicz's book called 'Ottoman Turkish Bows - Manufacture and Design' if you can.  It's a fantastic book with a lot of great information.  He has some dimensions in the book and also a method of estimating dimensions / draw weights  between two bows.

I also agree with the other guys...get Adam Karpowicz's book. I've been reading and studying it for a few months now and have most of what I need(material wise) to build or at least attempt to build a Ottoman/Turkish horn bow. I hope you have patience!  ;D
