Title: bow for Evee. cutest little bow ive made
Post by: superdav95 on July 27, 2024, 10:54:49 pm

This is a little detour from what I usually make.  Its a bamboo bow made with left over slats that i heat treated a while back.  It pulls about 10# at 15"or so.  the handle is ash from a buddies place.  the arrow is a piece of phragmite reed from the side of the highway here near my house.  They are just strong enough from kid bows.  I made a foam blunt at the request of Momma. I did a stain job and sealer on it.   It shoots pretty good for a little 10# bow.  Perfect for little 4 yr old Evee.   We are good friends with the family and were babysitting for them while back and she had a little fisher price type plastic bow.  so i decided to make her real one.  she seemed to like and will no doubt be terrorizing the neighborhood cats with it soon.  lol.

Does she have siblings?!  I could see her hunting then down around the yard with that arrow! ;D. Nice little bow.

Thanks fellas!   I’m hoping this will be a neat keepsake for her as she gets older.   My grandson is still a little young for a bow yet (8months) but have been asked by my son to make similar when he gets little older.  Can’t wait!  Start them young they say.

Looking good Dave. Ive made 4 little bows. I find they are very hard to tiller compared to a full grown bow. As mentioned, one of them is probably the best bow I've ever made. My pictures are always distorted or would post a couple photos. All four shoot but my youngest Grandson really has a blast with his.

thanks guys.  yes piddler getting the tiller was a little different then i was used to but not too bad.  I was aiming for around 10 lbs draw for this one and got darn close.
