Working on a shorter shortie ? (Braced)
« on: February 05, 2022, 08:00:20 PM »
Copying Kenny Topic, kind of

It's a glass copy of a Korean Horn Bow
48/50" NTN--- 1-1/2" wide
Butt load of reflex , hope she ain’t too squirrelly
I will be using Stable Kore under the back glass


Going top less, James gave me some Mule tape and a form tracing


The main riser is 5/8" thick, it will have over and under lays on it to make it thicker


Got all the steel pins cut and on the form

Good luck, Max!  Korean hornbows can be squirrely; I hope your version isn't too bad...   

I made a glass copy of a 48" NTN Scythian once upon a time.  Worked great except when it randomly decided to turn itself inside out upon release!

Mark, I've seen and shot a few similar bows that James built and I must say they were quite fast. At least it should be pretty stable unlike most Asiatic horn bows that you have to keep tweaking due to heat and humidity.

1/2" pins, for a long bow 2-1/2" apart
The first 6 from the middle are 2" apart then they get closer, I went overboard there on the recurve ends.

Thanks Guy's
