Flying Crane 06-27-2008, 06:53 PM There are lots of books available on how to make a bow using hand tools. Just go to Amazon.com and do a search for archery. Several ought to pop up right away. I'm also planning on giving this a try sometime, so I've picked up several books to reference. Seems like they all follow some similar advice in the main, but each have their own little tidbits to add, depending on the type of bow you are making. Interesting reading.

So's I don't make anotherone and waste bandwidth, I though I would expand on the question a little bit for my own interest: Do any of y'all happen to know how I can make a compound bow with a high draw weight with a compound bow kit?

Err, I mean an "incomplete" kit that will allow me to find other parts necessary for assembling an entire bow in the draw weight I desire. |
