Build Along?
« on: December 19, 2011, 12:22:00 AM »
Can someone guide me to a build along for a glassed bow. I heard Kennym has a good one, but I can't seem to find it on here.
thanks

What kind of bow build you thinking about doing? Your 4 major options are one piece and take down for longbow and recurve. There is build alongs for each on here and each has there own little tricks. Good luck on whatever you do.

THANK YOU! This was an awesome read and build along. I've never built a bow but I'm going to give it a shot!    :campfire:

OH Longbow, that is good stuff. Thank you for sharing your build along. I can't wait to start building a bow. Do you think it would be wise to start from scratch or buy a kit from Binghams?

You don't necessarily need the kit to start but it might be easier.  Just give them a call and tell them what you want to do and they'll give you their recommendations.  They are great to deal with.  Everyone I have ever spoken to is knowledgeable about building bows.

Good luck.
