Backpack challenge bow
« on: June 18, 2014, 07:53:17 pm »
Made this one after din-din tonite.

White ash stave
43" ntn, 1.5" wide
47 @ 22
The back of the red tape is 22 3/8. I yanked it to 24" and it didn't say a peep. Started board flat and has just over 1" set. Sorry for the funky full draw angle.

Can you tell by the red face and "grunt" that my weight is accurate Gabe? HA!

That's very nice Chris.  I don't have a high regard for White Ash as bow wood but it does make a decent bow

Nope, this ash is from stuff I get 3 yrs ago. I had about 50" worth and basically made the bow on my band saw. Easy peasy as you would say. Ill draw it 2" farther tomorrow and snap another pic. It'll handle it.

Nope! Im going to break it Matt. I have no use for it, just wanted to see what I could do with sub-par wood.

The bow is capable Jon. But im not. I cant shoot so far from my actual draw. Im sure a guy could get decent at 8-10 yards.
