Paddle bow information?
« on: December 14, 2021, 12:02:46 am »
Does anyone remember which issue/s of PA has articles on paddle bows by John Riggs? Does it give dimensions?

He is on utube. You may find what you are looking for. He used a lot of red oak for those bows,but other wood also. He makes them different lengths, and widths. He made a white cedar bow for foul weather hunting. He claimed the wetter the wood the stronger it became. Interesting.

I have his book, and seen a lot of his videos, but no mention of dimensions for his paddle bows, except overall width.
I've got all the PA magazines, but they are in storage, so just looking for what issues to target.

TBB volume 1: The chapter by Steve Allely on Western Indain bows. He gives some dimensions on pages 176,178 and 179.

Thanks, I'll dig out my copy of TBBvol1.

This came up in my YT feed just now. "Dimensions of my paddle bows" .I don't know how I missed it in my searches, even typing in dimensions of paddle bows???
