here's the last 2

Arvin your in box is full for private messages.  The bows all shot 140 fps today except for one skinny  hickory bow. It shot 148 average. I made it from a 19 year old seasoned stave, and draw was 3lbs. heavier than the rest. The stave was narrow so I could only get one ,and an eighth wide at the fades.  Hard shooter for what it is. I shot it with a 10 strand low stretch 652 string.

If you are so inclined, I'd be happy to design a fast self bow in your draw weight. I'm surprised by those low numbers. They can be much faster.

Check you PMs Sleek, it's not what you think.

The first bow is sinew backed Osage, and the second bow is sinew backed elm. Thanks to Bob Barnes for posting the pics. Both those bows shoot  140 to 145 average. Sleek I am shooting 12 GPP. 25 inch draw 30 lb bows.  I shoot gap, and a 30 inch arrow. Those speeds work fine for me at 12 ,15, and 20 yds were accuracy is concerned. Sleek thanks for your kind offer. So now we have a challenge for all of those who may be curious, and experienced bowyers with making a 30 lb bow, shooting a 370 gr arrow at 25 inch draw, and posting the speeds, design , etc. I would love to see your results.  The bows above are over built for durability, and longevity, and I know that. That would be another consideration.

I would go 64” inches on a 30# draw at 25” with a 8 inch stiff handle. 1-1/4 inch wide at the fade . Parallel for 9” then taper to the tips . Flip the tips a bit . Shoot 9 grains per pound on target shooting . Should increase speed I would think.

Thanks Arvin....I will keep that in mind on some of the other bows that I am going to reduce. One of the hickory bows I reduced is one and an eighth at the fades but with a 5 inch long handle, and straight taper, and no flipped tips 64 inches long.

You might find out if you take the challenge that the numbers above are not as bad as sleek is making them out to be.
