Working Limb lenght
« on: August 13, 2013, 11:45:45 pm »
I have some busted bows and thinking of somehow making a 3 piece out of the leftover limbs.  But I can only get 22 inches of limb.  By the time I factor in 3 inches for attaching to the riser that's only 18-19 inches maybe of working limb.  Will it work..?  What draw lenght would I possibly get..?

I'm thinking maybe 24" at the most and 35# tops..!   :o

So basically: maybe.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.
