2nd bow with the long string
« on: July 14, 2008, 10:13:30 pm »
This is my second bow. Its hickory 68inches long 2'' to midlimb tapering to 1/2 for now will narrow to 3/8 later.How does it look so far. now looking at the pics the left limb looks stiff mid-limb.
what do you think?
                                                      Thanks,
                                                             Danny

I would try to get a little more bending near the handle on both limbs from the end of the fads out to mid limb. Jawge
