Q: I am going to make a bow out of Red Oak. I know this isn't the greatest material, but for a first bow it was cheap so I can use it to practice making bows. I'm wondering about the sort of Backing I should use. I first considered the imitation snake skin, but I think Bamboo would do better to strengthen the bow. What would your advice be? Asked on 10/19/2012 by Patrick from United States Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The bamboo will increase the weight of the bow a lot more than the snakeskin or a linen backing would. It will also increase the efficiency of the bow. Either way, you will need to back the bow with something. Answered on 10/20/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery

Q: I'm just wondering how much stronger this will make my bow, just an estimate. I had splinters appear on the back of my longbow and I wanted a way to keep them down and make the bow a little stronger. Is this or sinew a better choice??? Asked on 6/17/2011 by Dirkmore from Washington State Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: This may work for your situation as long as they are small splinters. This backing will roughly gain you 5-7 pounds of bow weight. Once you retiller the bow after putting the bamboo on you may loose that little weight. Answered on 6/27/2011 by Art from 3Rivers Archery A: if splinters are on the back of the bow facing the archer when its held you would want to back it.if the splinters are on the other side sinew it.
