White Oak Backed Eastern Red Cedar Longbow

Nice bow with the colors of ERC, I have a theory why the tips were deflexed which is to prevent overdraw by making it stack at the specific draw weight, just a theory but it makes a little sense.

I've heard a couple theories. That one is new to me. The one heard that caught my attention was they were basically handles for stringing.

Except the string isn't out at the end of the horn

I don't know that I would want to bend a bow by pulling on glued on tips.

Nice bow, its always refreshing to see a new style or design pop up.

DC: I wouldn't think of doing it with antler tips, but reconstructions, I have seen strung that way.

Hrothgar: Thanks. I know the look isn't always popular, but I like it.

@Tillstave I'm really enjoying this bow. Still not sure how fast it shoots, but it's quick.
