My first hornbow
« on: September 11, 2020, 11:09:13 am »
Here are a few pictures of my first hornbow getting to brace height. 
Mulberry limbs and siyahs, oak grip.  Water buffalo horn belly and deer back sinew.

Looks good at brace Aaron. How long have you left it to season?

3+ months Mike.  Thanks Pat, I’m very proud that it has made it even this far.  A have a few more tiller adjustments to make, but so far it is just over 60# @ 28”.

Oh yeah, been shooting it a bit.  I may still sand on a couple spots to fine tune it before I cover it with birch bark. As a matter of fact, I just put some sinew wrapping at the base of the siyahs last night for some added security. Here’s a picture of me shooting it, it’s still a couple inches short of my 28” draw.
