    Pic of the glued up riser block showing the maple and phenolic accent stripes. He sent me this picture on Friday, then I brought him down to lake anna to do some fishing this weekend so the bows on pause for a few days.

    Stick bow - where to start?

    I would buy your arrows full length. The length of the arrow is one of the more important variables you will end up changing to get your arrows to tune.

    Stick bow - where to start?

    There's only a handful of bows, most of them older that you are able to frankenbow. Like said above your best bet is to go with a Sage or Black hunter if your looking for a cheap bow to get started. But, judging from your fall down the saddle rabbit hole you will have a custom recurve within...

    New Bow Build

    Yeah the 50lb bow will be for elk and a less than 1% chance for moose. Lol I’m usually a single black stripe in the riser kind of guy but this one I think I’m going with 2 light and one dark stripe between the ebony and diamond wood joints. There will be some overlays on the back of the riser...

    New Bow Build

    Yeah, these limbs will be a little different. Mike at Rosewood recommended not having any wood between the taper and the carbon weave, so these limbs will be comprised of fiberglass on the belly, a veneer, the bamboo taper, thin layer of carbon, and then the carbon weave on the back. Mike claims...

    New Bow Build

    Well now that you’ve pretty much purchased every saddle hunting product made, it would be a good time to start down the rabbit hole of traditional. It’s not THAT deep of a hole ….. ;)

    New Bow Build

    I think I mentioned to @HuumanCreed in another thread that I was about to have my Dad start building two new bows for me. I think I also mentioned that the excuse I give my wife every time I have him build a bow is that I need to have enough of my dad's bows to hand down to however many...

    Limb weight reduction question

    You can take a couple pounds off of a bow. I can’t remember his name but there is a guy that is known for refinishing old bows and reducing their weight. I heard him say in a podcast that 4-5 lbs was the limit he was comfortable with. He was able to reduce one bow 10 lbs but made the guy sign a...

    SH Superlatives

    Be careful bow season overlaps with rabbit season in MD. Some guy down east will think he shot a "Booner" bunny.
