Turkish bow

<< < (2/2)

Kviljo:
Thanks guys :)

It's got a dacron endless loop string with linnen wrappings. Not sure about the number of strands, but by the serving it is 2,7mm thick. The nocks of the old turkish flight arrows are often this wide, and so I don't want to cheat too much. I appreciate the extra safety of the dacron though, as I need to make a few more bows like this to not care if I loose one due to string breakage... :)

Unbraced? I could cheat and give you a picture of the fully rested state of the bow, but here's what it looks like just after taking the string off. It creeps back and regains perhaps four or five more inches of reflex, but this is the effective amount of reflex in it while it is shooting.
