HHB Flightbow
Marc St Louis:
I had a request from Ivar Malde (Kviljo) a couple months ago for a flightbow. He wanted something in HHB so I made him this bow.
The bow is 52" N to N with 1 1/2" wide limbs and pulls just under 70# @ 25". It is similar to the flightbow I wrote about in a previous issue of PA mag. I heat-treated more than 4" of reflex into the bow and it lost most of that only keeping a little less than 1".
Shaun:
Sweet tiller Marc. That looks like it would send a flight arrow out of sight - maybe into orbit.

hmmmmm lost 3 inches of reflex eh? maybe because its #70 and only 52" long!!!! amazing work as always Marc :D Ive got the elm flightbow article out on my workbench next to some maple billets, after i read it a couple more times i think i will give it a shot :P
