Title: It's been a few years but I'm back
Post by: Whitehawk23 on July 13, 2016, 03:00:00 PM

Hello all,
We'll it's been about 3 years since I posted here and built my last bow. It was a red oak board bow. Life kinda got in the way of my bow building but I'm now back. I'd like to make a shorter laminate recurve bow. Just don't exactly know where to start. Any suggestions? I say shorter because I'm 5'5 and I believe my board bow was about 62" I'd like something shorter so I don't have to stand on a stool to shoot it lol. My draw length is 26" if that helps.

Yeah I think that would be pretty perfect. I'm new so I don't know what to use to make it. I was thinking about a bringham projects bow. But that's 300 bucks
