The Bowyer's Bench / Re: Obsessed with a Stave
« Last post by Pat B on Today at 08:59:11 PM »
Years ago a friend gave me 3 osage staves that should have been in the burn pile. These three staves had about every malady a bow stave should have, knots, pins, twists, checks, bends...well you get the picture. That winter I put my mind and the knowledge I'd learned from other wood bow builders to work and by spring I had 5 shooters. Not pretty, not symmetrical, not straight but all worthy shooters. I learned more about osage and wood bow building from those 3 staves and few months than from any other bow building experience I can think of.
 Staves like this can really teach you a bunch if you allow it to. Looking forward to your progress and success.  :thumbsup:

Had a TS III 62" 65#@28" that walked out of my locked Ford F-150 along with much of my hunting stuff I had inside when I stopped at a restaurant after hunting and it's gone.  Replaced it with a 60" MOAB 62#@27" that is one of the best bows I have shoot.  Enjoy hammock camping and hunting hogs.

That English walnut bow has a Bloodwood I beam.

Here is one with a radius back shaped riser and a G-10 i- beam.

I love printed books.  Like everyone already said, tangible in my hand, go anywhere, no attchment to power.  Makes great library, which to me just feels like surrounded by that wisdom and legacy.  I tried digital not same for me.  Plus, I had several when it crashed and yep had to buy again. 
Audiobooks is my 2nd favorite, especially when travel in truck.  If dont have one a podcast is on.  Which that may be a more economic option.  Do episodes on stories, get feedback have guests on from tradgang.

I shot a MOAB, a guy at a shoot let me shoot it.  It light my eyes up with its smoothness, and pointability.  I could not afford one at that time.  Fast forward 8 years was walking a blanket sale at cloverdale, a guy had a thundermag.  I snatched it up and love that bow.  Finally a few years ago came across a thunderstick III, snatched that up.  Love that bow, 60" 55#.  Usually not a R/D lover, but Jim's bows has something special.

The Bowyer's Bench / A Different Concept
« Last post by TDonald on Today at 07:10:16 PM »
Hi All!

I used to shoot recurve, many, many moons ago.  About 15 yrs ago I broke my back and had to switch to crossbow - yes, I know it's not a traditional bow, but hear me out before you delete my thread.  Please?

In those years, I've put new stocks on plenty of crossbows, carving them from maple, oak, poplar, or whatever was requested.  Lately I've started playing with an idea about combining the art and beauty of a tradbow with a crossbow.  What I think I'd like to do is use reverse limb technology with recurve limbs on a crossbow.  The frame would be slightly different because instead of using a rail, like most crossbows, it would have a whisker biscuit with a standard nock on the arrow to hold the string. 

With all that in mind, can anyone help me figure out how to reach the draw weight I want to reach (200lbs) with a power stroke of 18" ?  The attached image is only the roughest of idea sketches, I hope it conveys the concept I'm reaching for.

If this post is completely not allowed, I would invite anyone willing to help me figure this one out to DM me.

Thanks

I do it all the time. If I can get a clean back I’ll try to make a bow from it. Twist, knots, cracks, doesn’t matter.
