R/D build
« on: December 28, 2013, 02:34:00 PM »
I took some time these past few weeks to make a aggressive R/D form and bow. The design and prints came from KennyM. I tell you this bow will shoot with any 53# longbow out there and its quiet with out and string silencers! Here's some pics.

Good looking bow.  Congrats    :thumbsup:
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

Nice job Stacy!!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

How did the bands work for you? Haven't used them on this style of bow, but may be easier than a Hill if the riser ramps are less curved?

Figure you have done both, just wondering....
Stay sharp, Kenny.

The bands worked fine, the harder thing about these type bows is getting the riser to fit the form. In my opinion the Hills bows are easier.
