Bingham one-piece recurve question
« on: October 04, 2013, 07:48:00 PM »
I have decided to try a one-piece Bingham recurve  build but I am wondering if the 60" would stack bad at my 29.5" draw.  I currently shoot a 62" Howatt Hunter and it does not stack and has a less deflexed riser than the Bingham's design, so I am thinking the geometry of the  more deflexed Bingham will make up for the shorter length in stack and finger pinch (pinch has never been an issue for me, even on a K-mag   :scared:  ).  I looked at other deflexed designs for some insight (like the Black Widow KB) and most of them would easily handle that draw even in 58".  I have built the Bingham's one-piece longbow and followed many build-alongs on here for the recurve so I am familiar with the process and honestly would have no problem stretching the riser to make it 62" if that is necessary (but the shorter length would be nice if it is not).  Any thoughts?

Not sure but, and email or call to Binghams would probably be a good idea.  That design had been in there lineup for many years I am sure they would give you the low down.

I might do that on Monday when they open again.  The web site lists a 30" draw as an option for both the 58" and the 60" so I am sure they work at that length just fine.  I was just hoping to find someone who actually shoots at around my draw length that has one.  Seems to be rare on both counts lol.

My first bow was a one piece recurve from bingham! It turned out great with how easy their instructions are and since it was my first bow I let everyone shoot it including a friend with a 30 inch draw. I have a average joe 28 inch draw so I went with the 58".

Good to know.  You just don't see much about the one piece recurve these days.  I am assuming it is a good shooter since it has been around for so long but I have never seen one in person.  I will probably order up a kit in the next month or so and just go with the 60".
