Title: Need help with Bingham's 48" recurve
Post by: day_stalker on January 29, 2019, 08:11:46 PM

I am building my first 2 bows, one is a 60" takedown longbow, I have a local bowyer guiding me along on it.  The other is a 48" takedown recurve from bingham's.  Binghams draw wieght sheet doesn't give any info on the 48" recurve.  Does anyone have any experience or recommendations, on the thickness.  I am trying to hit 25 to 30lbs @ 25"

I don't think they have a 48" but they do have a 58" on their bow weight chart.

Hello,
I built 2 several years ago. I emailed Binghams and they sent stack  thicknesses for 20# and 25#, if I remember correctly. If you want to wait til weekend, I can post them here, or you may ask Bingham.

Hello,

The limb thickness for the
youth t.d.
15# about .170"
20# about .180"
25# about .190".
