Flatbow Pics

Trying to decide whether to make a flatbow or longbow out of some staves...Could you flatbow shooters post some pics of yours? That would be awesome!!

Here is my Thunder Mountain Flatbow. I know it is a laminated bow but maybe it will help you out. It is 62" long and 57@28. width at widest point in riser is 1 7/8", width at fadeout is 1 11/16", width at mid limb is 1 1/4", width just before string nock is 9/16". hope this helps. Charley

What are your staves? Osage flat bow. My favorite design, 1 1/4" from fade to last 10" then taper to nock at 3/8". . 50-55 # @ 28"

I'm all over this thread.  Been wanting to see a few flat bows myself.  A buddy of mine just roughed one out of a red oak board for me.  He backed it with drywall tape and added an ipe and walnut handle.  A little crude, but so fun to shoot.

Nothing fancy. Oak board bow been serving my daughter well for a few years now.
