Selfbow board bow

[gokartjon]

My son is interested in a kashtuk selfbow for Christmas. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with them? Or if anyone has a suggestion for a similar product?

Thanks

Lots of videos about these bows on utube. I just looked at one, and can give you an opinion from what I saw. Looks like a nice bow for the money, nocks are a little wide, string nock was cut across the back of the bow which isn't a good idea although it probably won't matter with hickory, glued on handle angle is a little abrupt and the glued on piece may pop off over time, tiller looks really good.

That is my casual observation as a bow maker, not seeing one in person makes my opinion worth what you pay for it.

Do you know of anyone that makes a similar setup?
