horn bow without horn?
« on: November 07, 2015, 06:35:31 pm »
Does anyone know of a thread for building a horn-bow style bow without using horn?  I think Pat may have posted a build-along once upon a time??

I don't remember the issue of Primitive Archer it was in but I built one that broke and Chris Cade made a shooter with his. Though it wasn't a very good performing bow.

In the Laubin book there are pics of sinew backed osage bows in the style of hornbows. May be they haven't the long drawlength?

Your talking about the turk bow in laubins book, not really a horn bow look just a sinew backed osage painted to look like one

James Parker built a sinew backed, wood core and tempered(SCORCHED!)bamboo belly Asiatic horn bow style bow. That little booger would spit an arrow(@45#-50#) like nobody's business. I saw James shoot through a chrono, with a thumb ring at well over 200fps with a lightish carbon arrow and over 190fps with a 500gr hunting arrow.

I'd love to see any video or pictures of this bow

Bubby, yes he did. Also, I think Mecshlasher, Chris Cade won BOM with the one from the PA article about 10 years ago.
