wanting to make daughters a bow! Need Help!
« on: August 22, 2011, 09:47:00 PM »
I have two daughters ages 9 and 5. Last year I made my first laminated bow after making several board bows and a couple self bows. They currently shoot bows made from cpvc pipe and a boot lace, and I would like to make them some nicer laminated bows. I need some direction. My 9 year old has a 20.5" draw length and my 5 year old has a 16.5" draw length. What do i need as far as lam thickness, limb width, bow lenght,  etc? Not sure what poundage they can pull but I doublt it would be much. Hoping to get them done for christmas. All help is appreciated. Thanks!

Bingham has a nice plan for a laminated youth bow and can fix you up with the stack thickness
