Q: what is the width of the Hickory blank and the bamboo backing? Asked on 3/28/2013 by Curt Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: The hickory blank will be between 1 1/2 and 1/14 inches. Most of them are closer to 1 1/2 inches. Answered on 3/29/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: I think the blanks started at 1 1/2 and i cut them to 1 1/4 at the center and tapered to 5/8 at the ends.

Q: Would I be able to cut the length of this build down to something like 60"? Asked on 2/19/2013 by Sizzle Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I would not recommend to cut this down to 60". Being an all wood bow it will not be as smooth if it were shorter. Also cutting this down it will have a lot more stress on the limbs possibly causing it to break. Answered on 2/20/2013 by Art from 3Rivers Archery

Q: Does the hickory come with a roughed out handle section, or is it just a board??? Would I use urac-185 glue??? Asked on 12/25/2011 by Anonymous from Washington Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer Q: could the 17" bubinga riser be used on this kit and if so, what type od bow exactly would that be considered? im new to building bows and this would be the first bow under my belt. i was also wondering if the urac-185 bow glue would work for bonding all the woods and bamboo together. and would y'alls tool kit be everything needed to build this bow? Asked on 5/5/2011 by swamp monster from New Orleans, La Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I think that that would be considered a laminated longbow. Yes, you could use the bubinga riser with this kit. Urac will work for the bonding, and our tool kit should have just about everything that you will need.

It will have all the tools that you need to get started and a DVD to help you make sense of it all. Answered on 3/16/2011 by Justin from 3 Rivers Archery
Q: would you recommended this for a beginner and what is the max weight for this kit Asked on 10/23/2010 by tk1994 from long island new york Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: This is good kit for a beginner that wants more involvement with gluing up a backed bow. I highly recommend you get the short instructional booklet, "Building the Narrow, Rounded Belly English Longbow Made Simple" http://www.3riversarchery.com/product.asp?i=8565-2As for a max I really do not have any numbers to back it up, but most of our kits it is 70# max, but it depends on the bowyer.
