Title: Target shooting with my new self bow
Post by: Longbow1953 on July 26, 2013, 01:44:00 PM
A friend of mine in Portland, Dave Jones, recently built this self bow for me.  My wife couldn't make the image any bigger, but you can see the nice tight group I shot with it.

Great shooting.  Looks like you and that bow will get along just fine.

What weight, and what spine arrows? Also, what is your draw length with that bow? What wood? Inquiring minds want to know.

Great shooting, BTW.

I'd like to see a bigger picture of the bow if you ever get it figured out, looks great from what my dim eyes can see.

The wood is vine maple.  Arrows are 45-50 drawing about 27".  Not sure of the poundage...55+?

VM makes a good bow and that looks like a great one. Self bows are just as accurate as glass bow if properly set up and pilot error is controlled. Good shooting!
