Hickory Bow

I made this hickory bow for a friend. 72 inches long and 62 pounds at 28. When he picked it up he shot around 30 arrows out of it. He shoots a glass re curver but shot this bow well and said he liked it. Next step will be to get him building his one bows

Absolutely awesome bow (I'm a huge fan of long hickory bows)! What's the width?

It is an 1 3/4 tapered to 1/2 inch. I wanted to make it long with his 28 inch draw and the 60 pounds + that he wanted. Thanks for the kind comments guys.

That is a good looking bow Roger, your friend should be happy. The tiller looks spot on too.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

;This may be the best executed hickory bow I've ever seen. It appears to have no set.

Fine looking bow. Hard to beat that design for a good durable all-around bow.
