Title: New bows! Pic heavy
Post by: talkingcabbage on October 10, 2015, 10:09:00 PM
Hey all.  It's been a while since I've been on here.  Been busy finishing these bows and gearing up for hunting season here in Iowa.  These girls went to some Air Force boys in Warrensburg Mo.  So far I hear they're lovin' thier new homes.  There's a ton of pics here, so    :campfire: , and enjoy!

I can see why they are loving their new home- those are some good looking bows! Great craftsmanship on them- they look like a Bingham recurve with the modified riser.

Post by: talkingcabbage on October 10, 2015, 11:28:00 PM
Yea they're pretty close to that.  A few modifications, but close.  It's a good solid design to start with.

Do you have any concerns about longevity with so much bend right out of the fades and so little through mid limb?
Title: Re: New bows! Pic heavy
Post by: EwokArcher on October 23, 2015, 10:36:00 AM
Really would like some feed back on if this represents good tiller for a fiber glass recurve bow or not.
