Went and found a good piece of hickory ,had great grain to it . Going to try and make a reflex long bow. Going to have walnut and elk horn overlay .And walnut and elk horn on the tips. lLong ways to go .Going to shoot for 60-65 @ 28" 70" long. Heres some pics so far so good. Look out Tred Barta.Starting to cost more than guns .FrontSide

You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

That great Tim. We made recurve bows in high school woodshop and they worked great. A long bow should be really nice.

Did some more work on it today.Heres the tip this mornining .
And this afternoon.
Found the perfec tillering tool. My dads old 5" hunting knife.Doing it it hard way but the right way. Some more pics.
Worse than waiting for a gun to get out of jail. Thinking apricot instead of walnut for the riser and tips. Maybe both.Taking a break need to kill that deer in my back yard.

It's looking good. Nothing wrong with doing it the old fashioned way. Haste makes waste.
