Post by: Roy from Pa on April 18, 2018, 06:31:15 AM: Rich, can't you make him a bow?
Title: Re: Kid's Bow...
Post by: Shredd on April 18, 2018, 09:36:38 AM: Sure could... I am just adamant about making something right and I want him to have a good bow... If I make it, it would be a first off, it would be off a form for a 64" bow, I am not sure if I could hit weight on the first one and it might not have the best performance... I want someone who has already made a 58" bow and knows what they are doing... This is not a volunteer job for no profit... The kid works and has $$$... He is a business man... Although cutting him a small break in price would be fine because he is a kid... I met him on FB and he does leather work... I am sure that he would be interested in a trade also...
I tried to talk him into my 64" bow and said that he could grow into it but he wants a 58"...

Sure, I'd be happy to help.

I don't build a 58" bow, but I have a hybrid I've made as short as 60" NTN. I can go pretty low poundage on it. I also have a recurve I can do at 62" which leaves some room to grow into. The only issue on my end is I'm coming up on summer which is the busiest time of year at work, so it would probably be at least 3 months before I could get going on it.

If I can help, just let me know.

What draw weight?

Im not the most experienced bowyer, but I have a D/R form that I have built a 56, 58, and 60” bow off.
I could prob do it for not much more than material and shipping.
