Common Privet Bow 40# at 25'' (Read 115 times)

J Interfector Viris Spurii Offline Posts: 1659 Gender:	Common Privet Bow 40# at 25'' Jan 12^th, 2021 at 1:34pm I made a new bow today. I wanted something longer. I made this 64'' bow as well from Common Privet. It is the best bow I have made so far. Cut the stave with a SAK, did the rough work with a hatchet and all the tillering with a flint scraper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wPHuB1z8nY

I have not shot enough different type of bows to know what values as bad handshock, but this is the best shooting bow I have made so far with the least vibration. The part of the limbs close to the handle have a little natural bend outwards when its unstrung. I like that a lot because there seems to be much less string follow as a result
