Title: Hey there, I´m new here
Post by: Ivan Tank on June 15, 2015, 06:35:00 PM

Hey there, fellows,

Im Ivan, "Tank", from Brazil. I have a background with woodcarving and woodworking and some time ago, the company where I work went to a stand for archery and I found that amazing, and could not stop.

I´m new here, and things are still "too cloudy" for me, about the process about how to make a bow for me. I´m planning to do a 70" recurve andI´m here for clues about how to do it.

Sorry for my english. I hope to be at USA soon for some hunting, maybe with some of you, guys.

B.R

Welcome to the forum, Ivan.
Not sure if you're talking about an all wood or a fiberglass recurve.
I've only made wood laminated recurves and they were 64" tip to tip.  Maybe someone who has made a longer one will chime in.
Good bow making to you!
