Kenny M Longbow Plans

[LittleBen]

Ok everyone, here it is.

to quote Kenny "This is my contribution to their addiction"

Below you will find links to full size PDF files for the plans.

   58/60" RD Longbow  

   62/64" RD Longbow  


Someone please test the links and make sure they are available publically.

All you need to do is basically e-mail the file to your local printing shop of choice and they should be able to print it out for about $10/plan

Ben, I keep getting this notice: "file is unavailable please reload"
I can see the images, but the notice comes up and I can't do anything with it.

[LittleBen]

please try again with the 58/60, trying to get my settings right

[wood carver 2]

Same thing happened. I wonder if it might be my infernal machine.

[LittleBen]

seems to work for me, should be able to download or print through file menu.

[Ranger44]

I was able to download the files.

Thanks Ben.

[wood carver 2]

Must be my computer. It's acting up.

Thank you Ben and kenny for putting these plans up link works fine here. Quick question I know the riser would be different but could you use the lam section of the design to build takedown? Thanks again guys

[Horn Chaser]

I had to sign in to my google account but was able to download them.

[LESKEN2011]

Thanks Ben and Kenny for the info.

You're welcome guys,glad the bows are still going to be built, hope you get much pleasure from building and  shooting them as I did in the R&D on em!

This PDF thing is all Ben's tho! I can make a passable bow, but computers leave me in the dust! LOL

I built a 64" TD  3 pc off the same shape, 16" riser, .003 total taper with tip wedge and power lam, just draw the 1 pc out full length and make the limbs on the TD match it...  :D  

It has taken one cow elk, think he told me it blew right thru her. I guess I never chronoed it, but seemed a little quicker than the one pc.

Probably just new bow syndrome tho!!

Hmmm.  I was able to download the files but can only get a 1 page (8.5" X 11") size.  It must be a simple fix.  Anyone have some clues as to how I get it to full size.

[LittleBen]

might be able to scale it using adobe acrobat .... I'll look into it more this weekend. Work is killing me this week ... zero time

[gene atkinson]

thank you kenny and ben for taking time and  sharing those.

Thank you both. For those trying to download having problems, try using Google chrome to download.

Are you guys having trouble downloading the file using phones or ipads? If you are using a desktop or laptop with windows and a browser like Firefox or Google Chrome, just click on the link. When you get to the page, click file, scroll down to the download button and click it. Depending on how you have your browser set to work with viewing pdfs, you may get the option to open the file from there using your default pdf program. (I use pdf exchange editor as my viewer rather than adobe) Then you can save it wherever you want to store it. Both links appear to provide a full sized pattern. You can pm me if you need more help.

short of taking my laptop to the printers, how would i get the copy to them to print out a full size copy?

[LESKEN2011]

Copy the pdf file to a thumb drive or burn it to a cd. They should be able to print it from that. They might even have a way for you to email them the file. I would call them and ask them.

These things are beautiful just printed out! Kenny your my friggin hero! And, BTW if you do start up again someday, you can count on my business.

For those having trouble: Use Chrome, when you click the link you will see a preview. There will be a file menu on the upper left of the page. Click -> file -> download. Should get you going.

Best
