Q: I like the idea of actionboo as a backing. Why doesn't it come in six foot lengths? Asked on 3/5/2013 by mountainman from melbourne, fl Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: These laminations are meant to be used with fiberglass. We have other bamboo that works better for backing a primitive style bow.

Q: can these be used as bow backings? Asked on 12/31/2012 by riley from United States Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: Is they have a taper in them then no... Answered on 1/5/2013 by Anonymous A: I would not recommend using these laminations as backings. With out anything on the other side of these laminations you would run the risk of splinters popping up and causing weak points in the bow. Answered on 1/2/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Your best bet is the bamboo. The problem with the others is that if they are 1/4 sawn you have grain ending in the plane of the wood which is a point of weakness. The bamboo (and possibly the Cane) have vertical grain.

Q: can i use just laminated bamboo to make a long bow if i use 3 or 4 pieces?? if i can how many pieces would you say i need to make one Asked on 11/11/2012 by opie from defuniak springs florida Know the answer? Answer this question 4 answers A: Tried something similar to this. Used Tonkin Cane as "backing" and ran into problems with it trying to split at the bamboo "nodes". Should work ok if you back it with a regular bamboo backing (not the laminate). Answered on 11/13/2012 by Anonymous A: You probably can if you use natural bamboo with the nodes on and do not violate the strength fibers. Answered on 11/12/2012 by Anonymous A: In order to answer the question I would need more information. Are you talking about multiple pieces of bamboo to make up the width or length and how long and wide is each piece? Answered on 11/12/2012 by Anonymous A: A typical laminated bow will have 4 sets of laminations, two for the core and then two more for the outside laminations. The fiberglass would then go on the outside of that. Answered on 11/12/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
Q: Hi Folks.... It's been about 30 years since I built a longbow and still have the form that my friend Jay Massey and I built back in the 80's. I would like to build a #55 bow at 28" draw and am wondering the length of the finished bow and combination of osage orange and fiberglass laminations I should shoot for. Any suggestions? --thanks, bw Asked on 10/3/2012 by bw from moscow, idaho Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Well your first bow will be your "math" bow that will help you in determining the next bows weight. Our charts are for a basic slight reflex/deflex longbow. Going off of our charts if you were to use .040 fiberglass on the back and belly you will need 4 pair of .075 tapered lamination and a finished bow of 64'' to achieve around 55#.

Q: I have a 58" hickory one piece unfinished longbow which has a split just above riser. Is there any type fiberglass wrap that maybe used as a repair? What would process be? Asked on 7/13/2012 by Jmsmithy from No NJ / ADKs NY Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: Yep... Been there, done that over the past forty years of bowhunting. Speaking for myself, dental floss. Seal over the repair when able to do so, with any varnish or Tung Oil, and use it sparingly. You can also, simply rub gently over the repair with Beeswax and burnish it into the floss fiber with a piece of leather, or your fingertips if you don't mind the burn. Dacron B50, or serving string works, as will carpet repair sewing thread. Don't expect miracles as the eventuality will be repacing the bow should be anticipated. The floss/thread repair to me, seems to have no adverse effect on arrow flight and has some give to it. Follow the same method as serving the bowstring, when you start, and end. I trust that you are not over drawing the bow. I got into that bad habit for a while and broke bows during target competitions and worse, when far away from civilization, hunting. You might want to rub the void with Beeswax and burnish, before you wrap. Pine rosin, violin soft stuff, works. Answered on 9/29/2012 by Mr.Brizzi from Long Island, NY A: It will be hard to say what could or could not work to fix the bow without being able to see it. Please send us some pictures at info@3riversarchery.com and we will offer any help we can. Answered on 7/17/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
Q: What elm species are the elm laminations made from? American red, European red, Chinese, etc? Asked on 5/1/2012 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: When you find your answer, consult the Janka Scale of Wood Hardness, to be certain that it suits your needs. Nation of origin is not a problem as is, Global Latitudes where wood species are grown. You would need to read soil evaluation reports to determine what minerals are in the soil the wood was grown but, how to acurately determine exactly where the tree was harvested in all probability will remain unknown. What if it is a great variation of tree species and there was illegal chemical dumping nearby? How to determine draught, waterlogging from excessive rains, and improper seasoning? Answered on 9/29/2012 by Mr.Brizzi from Long Island, NY A: The elm laminations are made from a domestically grown red elm. Answered on 5/2/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
Q: Hi, your catalogue with respect to Bow Laminations-Flat Elm speaks of edgesgrain and flat grain. What is the difference? Asked on 12/19/2011 by harwood from Austria,Europe Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: One lamination is cut going with the grain of the wood and the other is cut going across the grain of the wood. You would use the edge grain Elm as your core laminations (strength, speed) and flat grain Elm for your outer laminations (decoration). Answered on 12/20/2011 by Shawn from 3Rivers Archery

Q: Is it feasible to make a bow with bamboo core and Bo-Tuff laminates? I have access to exotic woods in my area from contractors for wood scraps to make my own risers. Asked on 10/7/2011 by gobbler716 from Central, AL Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes, you could make a bow out of only fiberglass if you wanted.
