Title: Kids Bow - 50's style recurve - 1st Try
Post by: Koko Bow on April 10, 2008, 08:44:00 PM

Here is a 50's style recurve that I thought I'd try my hand at.  It is 46" long and comes in at 15# @20".  Black glass, actionwood core and osage handle.  1" wide all the way to the last 5".  From there it tapers to a 1/4" nock.  Shelf is cut 1/16 from center.  Grip is 3-1/4" long and overall handle is 1-3/8" deep.  Thanks for looking.
