I’m slowly transitioning from a compound to a recurve in the deer woods. I really love the simplicity of traditional archery equipment.
I currently shoot a Martin Howatt hunter but I’m drawing almost 31” so it stacks pretty bad.
The cattle farm I work on has a whole bunch of Osage trees that I have been scouring for a piece straight enough to make a few staves to try my hand at making a self bow.
My goal is to make a 68” longbow. I’m getting together the tools I need to make one including building a bow making bench and tillering tree.
If I can cut a few usable staves I’d be willing to share the wealth in exchange for some knowledge in building bows.
