Anyone know where I could get a cardboard R/Dlongbow template? I have a friend that said he will build me a form but needs a template of what I want...
What kinda a R/D longbow are you after?
Glass or Bamboo backed?
Glass. Was hoping some one had an old one I could maybe buy of one of the more popular R/D longbows??? Sold all of my bows except for a mild longbow. So can't make one myself....
Any sugg.????
i can mail you a .pdf from a mild D/R form i have.
here are 2 pics of the bow.

Just pick a bow you like and trace it.
3 rivers has a blue print for about $7.00. Not sure it is for glass or wood, but what is the diff?
Binghams also sells blueprints and matching materials. I built 1 of their ref/def longbows and it shot pretty good and had a fairly straight riser section which is easier to work with for your first bow.
String Cutter,
So, where are you getting your construction materials??
This is the form I'm using for my R/D glass bows. I have a separate contour drawing available (scale 1:1).
