Primitive Archer

I have been using 40/45 Surewood DF from Feathers and Wood when he’s setup at 3d shoots to save shipping costs. I can go through his shafts and find them in 350 to 360 grain weights at the full length 32”. With 125 gr points and cut to 28-1/2” back of point they come in around 475 to 480 gr total arrow weight.

Many thanks to all. From November 2023 to January 2024 I made 3 longbows in 3 months with the hickory and 2 were hickory backed and 1 was bamboo backed. I was lucky to have a buddy whose son worked at a local sawmill and he picked out some nice clean random width boards for me. The recurve was the last of the stash. Few photos of the longbows.

That looks like a sweet shooting bow, the Ipe makes for a really gorgeous riser. Nice job!

Gotta agree with everyone else. Nice bend.

Thanks for sharing

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope Santa is good to all.
