recurved juniper bow pictures!
« on: March 14, 2009, 02:44:34 pm »
Here is my latest little bow... It is nearly twenty inches in length. Pulls about 8 #. I boiled and recurved the tips, this little bow will shoot one of its little arrows more than 70 yards. I was shooting a box with it in my room =] I missed and it stuck into the wall  :D I know its not perfect, I just wanted a recurved bow so I kind of rushed through it  :)

Also in the pictures it has the illusion of being unbalanced this is due to a propeller twist.

Cool little bow. If you could make a full sized bow with the performance that one has, you will sure enough have something.  ;)

That's a cool little bow. Ryano had a little tiny osage recurve at the TN Classic last year, and I was amazed how hard it shot.

Nice....l'm tempted to try one out for myself.....they seem like they would be entertaining to shoot and l'm sure my little boy would get a kick out of it.  :)

they are pretty amazing! It'll shoot so far and pulls hardly anything... I was off with the 8# its more like 5#. I suggest bamboo skewers which work perfectly for arrows. Then the easiest way to fletch them is to use packing tape
