new horn bow

(1/9) > >>

bubby:
I just recently finished this bow up, i was originally going to use bison horn but ended up salvaging the gemsbok off another bow, it has three courses of deer leg sinew i got from osage outlaw with a maple core and osage and horn tips






Around mid 40's at 24" and i think 46" ttt i forgot to measure it, black rat snake skin over the sinew

bubby:
The skin i got from Clint also, i put three layers of sinew down and then added two more in the inner third, it has around four inches of reflex so i filed in a extra string nock so i could use a stringer to brace it, seems to really fling an arrow and for the length i was around the ten ring shooting it in, fd coming

Pat B:
very nice bubby. I'd like to make one similar to yours.   Can we see a full draw pic?

bubby:
Thanks Pat, full draw is coming

joachimM:
Interesting bow! Makes sense to trap the horn belly in a design that only moderately stresses back and belly (for a horn-wood-sinew bow, that is).
Is there a particular reason you left the tips straight?
