Post by: kennym on August 11, 2017, 08:11:00 AM: Thank you guys!

Brad, my next is going to be a 48/50" kids D/R just like Dad's! Deciding whether to go 1" or a little wider at fades.... :)

I designed a recurve with the grip loosely based off the Kodiak hunter(1 bow off that form),1.5" wide, was quiet, it shot well, but I just am not a recurve guy.....

Post by: kennym on September 07, 2017, 06:42:00 PM: Thanks Mike!!

I sure love mine, 4 deer and a bobcat last year with a prototype. This one shoots even better for me! Think I have my 3 piece longbow for life! :)

Post by: Mad Max on September 07, 2017, 07:10:00 PM: Looks awesome Stic
Title: Re: TD plans completed!!
Post by: mwosborn on September 07, 2017, 10:22:00 PM: That is good news - I just got the plans from Kenny. The build is going to have to wait until this winter though - not enough time now!

Stic - yours looks great.

Post by: Trenton G. on September 07, 2017, 10:29:00 PM: Looks like a great bow! I guess now I have my winter project.
Title: Re: TD plans completed!!
Post by: Crooked Stic on September 07, 2017, 10:59:00 PM: I guess I should say that the riser shape on mine is not Kennys shape. The pad angles are by the plan. I just happen to like my riser shape. Although I want to try the shape of the one on the left side of the plans.

Post by: pditto613 on September 10, 2017, 03:00:00 PM: Kenny on the kids bow you are considering try gluing up with 2" glass then ripping the blank down the middle. You end up about 7/8" at the fades. And you have 2 blanks for the effort of one glue up. I used a 10" riser and bows were the 48" to 50" that you are looking for.

Post by: kennym on September 15, 2017, 08:37:00 AM: I made a form an inch wide and split the glass with a utility knife. Haven't finished it yet, busy busy!
