Growing into a Bow

[TRACY]

Ridgerunner, Sounds like it will work. I had a similar situation with my son( and built his osage bow so that as he grows so will his draw length and poundage. Seems like you're out of draw length though and piking it should work.

Thanks for all of the replies.
It is good to know that you guys think this idea might just work.

Papa Matt: Applying a (hard) backing had not come to mind as it is something that I have never done.
I have sinew backed two bows but sinew would have as many drawback and advantages on a long skinny bow.

Jackcrafty: 6 x 5 = I need some more bow wood.

Kayakfisher:  I have to look up to my  son as well and he is a good kid as well.  I am blessed.

Cowbow:  And there is more where that came from.  Remember???

Far East Archer:  My son has some problems with his form as well.  I am hoping this new bow will help that.

Sidewinde:  With Pappy's help I have heat treated three bows.  It surprised me how well it works.

TRACY F:  You got ahead of the curve.  I am behind it and need to catch up.



Thanks
David
