First Bow Finished
« on: February 04, 2015, 04:46:00 PM »
I love reading the success stories and build a longs here on Trad Gang.  I learned a lot about building right here like many others have.  Thanks to everyone that shared their experience.  I finally have a chance to share my first bow.  

Thanks to Kenny M for sharing his blue print and his knowledge.

I got my supplies from Bingham's.  The limbs are bamboo cores, Quilted maple veneers.  Riser is Walnut.  

The bow is off Kenny M design.  It's 64" NTN.  Finished 42#@28".  Shoots like a dream.  No hand shock and very quiet.  I clocked it at 175fps with 10gpp arrows.  

Sorry for the poor pictures.  The sun doesn't stay in the sky for very long up here this time of the year.

 
 

Some unfinished pictures.
