finished a new bow
« on: September 21, 2008, 11:54:00 PM »
For the first time in 2 years I decided to build myself a new bow. I have been developing a new recurve design for more than a year now and this new form is turning out such good bows I had to build myself one. Its coco/bocote 48# @ 28 (exactly 50# at my 29" draw) and shoots just like I want. Fast, super smooth,  very quiet and stable. Its very easy to shoot and I think it looks pretty good too. Wwhat do you think?
