Title: Binghams 58-62 TD Recurve
Post by: MB_Sweden on September 19, 2014, 12:30:00 PM

I have a 58-62" TD Recurve drawing that I purchased from Binghams.
I have used a 19" riser and mostly build 62" bows.
Now im thinking about building a 66" bow.
My plan is to build a 21" riser and extend each limb 1" on the straight part and a 10,25" wedge
Will it work?
Is that the best option ?
If I keep to that formula will I be able to use the thickness of the bow draw weight chart ?

That is how Binghams suggests doing it.  I went another way for my 66" but the charts won't work well.

Thanks Al Dean!
What did you do? Some improvements of the design?

Call Binghams and ask them.

I went with the 64-68" TD recurve plans and used a 19" riser instead of 21" with 10 1/4 wedge.  Same limb design but longer.
