Narrow limbed recurves

[Bernie B.]

I agree, a very interesting topic.

My son Jay (JJB) took my old Red Wing Hunter from 57# to 48# last winter, then refinished it.  It shoots extremely well.......quiet and fast.

Good looking bow Brandon. I'd love to get a better look at that shelf cut out.

When it all comes out in the wash the narrow limb deeper core recurve's will take all the marbles on performance. but i'm with you Brandon...they are definitely trickier to build and keep stable.  kirk

Our Epic recurve fits the bill.  It starts as a 1 1/2" blank and is reduced a bit in shaping.  It's hard to build a narrow curve but they are cool.

It would seem that there are as many narrow limbs these days as there are limbs that are not considered narrow.You guessed it me too. Our Evolution limbs and hunter limbs are all under 1 1/2".

This is a funny topic as I've reduced a few recurves to narrow limbs.  Just this weekend I needed another hog bow with a stabilizer insert.  So I took a Back Swan 55# recurve down to 48#.  The limbs are 1 1/4 inch wide.  This isn't a deep hooked recurve.  Now I'd never consider selling such a bow...but it sure shoots better for me now...tippit

I'd give my pinky toe to learn how to make a sight window cut out like that... It's prolly pretty simple, but my brain cant wrap around it.

Very nice Brandon, I've always thought that those points look like Indian Quill work. Really neat.
You're using tools I never learned how to use. I need to take some wood working classes.

God bless you, Steve
