Title: A couple for the kids
Post by: jess stuart on May 20, 2017, 05:26:00 PM

These are 46" long with brown glass one has a myrtle riser the other gonclo alves. They are 23# and 21# @ 20".  Have a 12" riser and use one taper and one parallel.  I always enjoy building these.

Sweet looking bows!  Out of curiosity, how far could you pull one of those bows back before they start stacking?
