Title: Lightweight Straight Limb
Post by: habph2 on February 29, 2016, 07:28:00 PM

I want to build a real light draw weight glass straight limb longbow. I'm thinking 62" 20lb at 28" for the kids I teach in 4H. I'm thinking the max they'd draw is 24". Most of the kids seem to really like longbows over recurves and compounds. Can anyone help me out with limb butt thickness? I've never made such a light bow.

Contact Bingham's Projects to see if they have blue prints for this bow or can suggest a recipe.
