  • Forgot, do you hunt at all or just build the bows for the fun of building. I am a hunter, and Id like to make one for hunting deer. I did hear you in the vid mention 53# which is plenty. If I buy a thin lamination of hickory on your red oak bow, that will raise draw weight a bit???

  • @1navynuke I just make bows for the fun of it. I've wanted to go bow hunting for the last couple of years. I just don't have the time to put in the practice necessary to get good enough to hunt with a bow. Other people have hunted with my bows, though.

    Yes, a hickory backing will add weight to your red oak bow, but you should keep the hickory really thin or it will overpower the red oak.

  • 1:11 Poor cat that you hit. You should put it out of its misery. :D haha. j/k.

    Oh, and cool. Got to see the lothlorien bow being shot. Also, Grace, what a difference in demeanor in this video. :D haha. Quite the joker.

  • @huyked I guess I DID get a video of her shooting the Lothlorien bow after all.

  • Ah! That isn't a hinge on the top limb at :21 is it? it scared me half to death. I recently had a bow explode :(

  • @EdvvardCash Thanks for your concern, but it's quite safe. It's a reflex/deflex bow, so it's supposed to bend like that. Besides, it's fiberglass, so it would take a lot to make it explode.
