YES!!!! Bingham's is how many bowyers got started - both hobbyists and professionals.  Excellent instructional materials and if you follow their plans, you will end up with a bow at your intended draw weight.  Get a couple bows under your belt using Bingham's plans before you venture out on your own designs.  It will save you money!
