Comments about Bow Laminations:

I've used lams from different vendors. 3Rivers is unsurpassed in terms of order and delivery speed, but the lams were not entirely straight and they are more expensive than others. Decent product, made a decent bow, but for the price I'd expect perfection.

Comments about Bow Laminations:

These lams are Google quality and priced right. I used a combination of 5 sets of these laminations and 2 strips of .050 black glass on a 64" Longbow and it came out great. Very easy to work with and these pre-cut and tapered lams make any bow build a breeze. I also used 3 Rivers pre-cut riser and ended up with a beautiful handcrafted bow pulling approximately 55lbs at 28 inches. Using these pre-cut laminations and fiberglass in the right combination anyone can craft a beautiful bow with just the right balance of power and performance.

Service & Delivery comments:

My orders was processed quickly and shipped to my door in a matter of just a few days. 3 Rivers offers outstanding service rarely found in today's world. Thanks for the great experience.

Comments about Bow Laminations:

Good lams, precise cuts and tapers just as advertised. I used a combination of 5 pairs of these lams and 2 sets of glass to build a very nice Longbow that pulls approximately 55lbs at 28 inches. I will definitely be placing another order soon for my next Longbow project.

Product was packaged quickly and delivered to my door in a matter of days.

Comments about Bow Laminations:

Used to zebra lams for a laminated bow,working great so far. Overlays and such are in the hot box cooking right now so i decided to right a few reviews. If you want accurate cut lams, thsi is the thing to get. Although when first came in, lams were slightly warped, the clamp pressure and great glue fixed this problem. A bit of advice for novice bowmaker, its ok if warped a lil', clamp pressure and such will fix so don't freak out the first time you get warped lams.

Good quality, but no options for tapers. Bow manufacturing can be a very personalized hobby/profession. These laminations limit the design, but are excellent for consistency.

I purchased the product to build my first longbow. The laminations was great. The only problem I had was I went off of Three Rivers bow chart for a 64 inch longbow at 65 pounds pull and hit 55 pounds. Other than that it made an awesome bow.

Comments about Bow Laminations:

The laminations are consistant in thickness and taper. They work great for both longbows and recurves, as long as the taper on the recurve starts 8 to 9 inches from the tips. The thinner sizes of laminates tend to warp a little.
