Title: Bingham 3 pc. Recurve
Post by: leewillis92 on July 26, 2009, 01:36:00 AM
Hey everyone,
I am really interested in buying the 3 pc. recurve kit that Bingham supplies and I really have no clue what to expect.  This will be my first time building a bow and to be honest with you, I don't have any idea what's going on until I get the plans in the kit.  So, my question is, what will I get in my kit and what kind of tools will I need in addition to the kit?  I have the basic tools like a drill press but what else do I need?  Thanks so much. -Lee

Thanks kenny!  My real problem is what I need to expect out of this kit though, so any more help would be appreciated.

The dvd shows step by step what the printed instruction state. The T/D recurve from Bingham was my 1st glass bow I built. It is pretty straight forward. Get the dvd and watch it a few times and read along with the plans the last time. It is easy to understand. Call Elmont if you have any questions. He's always happy to help.

Its not smokin' fast but is accurate, quiet and reliable. That's about all you need.
