  • Q:

    Does the handedness refer to the hand you hold the bow with, or the hand you shoot with?

      A:

      The dexterity of a bow is determined by the hand the pulls the string.

  • Q:

    Does this bow come with a string and if so what is the string made of? I am familiar with the B-50 string material, will that work with this bow? Thanks, BREEZY46

      A:

      No string is included with the Bamboo-Backed Hickory Longbow Blank. A B-50 string would be best for this bow when it is done being built.

      A:

      By your height, you should have a long draw length. The longer the draw length the longer the bow will need to be. If you get one of these blanks I would recommend that you make the bow as long as possible.

  • Q:

    What length string do i need for this bow?

      A:

      Since it says approx 68" - 72" it is going to vary on the blank you get. Once you receive the blank you need to measure it from tip to tip, then take that measurement and subtract 3 inches. This is the length of string you will need.

  • Q:

    bamboo is a great choice for backing as it is tension strong. is it a good choice for backing hickory though, which is not a compression strong wood? especially with a r/d design. is this design prone to failure?

      A:

      We have not had too many problems with this bow. The Bamboo keeps it together through the stress and the Hickory is left wide enough to not have any problems.

    could i use a take down kit on this bow

  • Q:

    Am done tillering and slowly getting my bow down to my target weight. Right now its 58 lbs at 29"...while checking the weight the last time, the bamboo back cracked on the upper limb midway in the limb area in the center of the limb. A piece of bamboo about 1/4 inch wide and extremely thin pulled off the bow...it is still attached on the upper end. Is this fixable? Is a result of a fault in the bamboo or was the tiller incorrect? It appeared to me that I had the correct tiller....

    could you cut and make a two piece?

      A:

      You can make the Bamboo-backed bow into a 2-piece bow, but I would only recommend it if you have made a few different takedown bows before. It wouldn't be the easiest for a beginner with his bow. It can depend on what takedown system you are using, but it would be possible to make it a takedown.
