They were successful they broke because I abused th :'(e crap out of them. And I agree I'm getting all the info now and then in the future try my hand at a composite bow design. Just trying to plan ahead
i need nothing but my old bow and arrows.

At least he's honest about his treatment of the bows!  Most folks wouldn't admit to abusing 'em!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

I stumbled across this one:
http://leatherwall.bowsite.com/TF/lw/thread2.cfm?threadid=183886&category=88
Doesn't look like it's a finished build along, though.
I would really advise you to set aside a composite bow until you become an expert at bowmaking, it's a totally different ballgame than a simple bent stick. (bear in mind that I have no Idea how skilled you are in bowyery, if you've been doing it you're whole life and grew up around composite bows, then I say give it a shot) Not only that, but if you mess one up, it can be a lot more expensive.
When you say it's your first, do you mean your first bow or first composite bow?
Well, if you do it, good luck ;)

wow, i really enjoyed the leatherwall thread, thanks! now i wan't to make one but i am waaaay to inexperienced for it. SS
