DIY BOW BUILD - Lower Poundage = Faster Bow 😮 

Krammer!!Love your enthusiasm,,i have built 12 bows, bought as many. Two of my brand name bows,one 60# the other 55#,,, the same arrow,, the same speed!! The faster one has the thinner profile limbs,, like you said,, less mass. Im as intrigued as you are. Keep up the Awesome work my friend. Love your vids👍👍

I'd love to see Shatterproof start to make take down bows. I don't think I'm the only one.

Thank you tons for watching we have so much cool stuff coming soon! You guys are the best 😀 Find the current bow auction here www.shatterproofarchery.com/products/exclusive

I believe Kramer and the Shatterproof crew are underrated. The bow builds and information on this channel is great and very useful. The bows are gorgeous. The vids, ambiance, and music is unique. Keep it up fellas!

I just placed an order for a custom string and stringer. Had an online chat that was punctual and helped me with what I would need. Happy to support quality, passionate, American based companies that got me into Archery! I can’t wait! Thanks Shatterproof!

Nice looking bow

this guy's nuts, but he's so passionate about what he's doing. haha love it

I would love to see you take one of those blanks and make it using more basic tools. Like what would a typical Joe Schmo have in the garage or shed. So no belt/drum sander but yes orbital hand held sander. That kind of thing. How few and how basic of tools can you use to get that bow blank to a working bow. That would also be a great test/promotion of the diy bow blank concept.

Started my first bow today. You guys have been a big inspiration in that. Tyvm

geeezzzzz that thing is pretty. awesome video!

I have been following your journey for so long, and I am personally just amazed at where you have come. Keep being awesome.

I have a odd bow build request! Can you do your best to make a fusion between the more eastern recurve composite and a european style longbow? Would that just take the shape of a really long recurve? A longbow with composite materials? I dont know! But it seems neat inside my mind.

That’s smooth bow , glad to shoot it , you guys have really advanced traditional archery , thx

These bows are beautiful!

I have not watched for a while, your production values have gone through the roof. Well done.

Great job my friend I like it well done 👍🏼👍🏼 I’ll have one some day god bless Kramer

Can’t wait to build along with you!

The Bones! love it!

Beautiful video Kramer. My buddy told me you are located in the springs, thats awesome if its true. I live in Castle rock. New to archery thinking about making my own bow. Wish me luck 🤞

Now that's some video production quality!

A kit bow would be sweet!

Thanks for the cool tutorials. Very entertaining

I'd like to see a diy bow kit, maybe it's 80% and you do the rest? Would be neat

I would love one of youre bows, at moment my bow is a takedown bow, im wondering what the difference is between them and ones ive seen you make. But one day hopefully not too long you may get an order from a guy from uk. I absolutely love youre channel and what you do. Thankyou so much for sharing the knowledge and just the content is so good, you seem a really nice guy, one that i would trust buying a bow from..

Awesome stuff! 👌

Adding mass to the part that has to move the most is going to slow you down. If you start wider at the riser you can preserve the higher draw weight, introduce more taper, and have a faster bow that still has good manners when you loose. Then if you want to get fun… Introduce very narrow tips and reverse tiller them, make them thicker front to back, so they are rigid. Then you preserve string angle, reducing stack, so you can make the overall length the bow shorter. Shorter limbs, less mass, more speed…

You did an awesome job!

I would love to see you put together a kit and instructions!!!!!!❤

Excellent idea! I'd love to have two so my granddaughter and I could build them side by side.

would love to bring it down to Brazil. 😍😍😍

Have you looked into opa bows? They have an interesting concept that I had thought of before I found them and wondered why nobody else has eliminated the deflex

Stunning bows I'll afford one one day😢

I really enjoy your content and the way you break things down. I have a bow that I built from scratch during Covid. If I sent it to you would you make a video overview? I’d like to have some input on what you like/dislike. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Count me in for the build along bow kit!

Work of art !=8)

I've missed Y'all. Has it been a month? GOD and I love Y'all!

Nice work broo..❤❤❤

recently i started a project in which i wanna make my own bow and arrows, i would love if mine looks in the end like yourse :D i saw several vids how they glue stuff together but not realy know what they use , i woudl love a guide how to make one :)

Interesting video, thank you. 👍🏼 #1

Should take it to 1/2” tip and see what happens?

Wow.

So what is the date for this auction? Am I to late or is it soon. For a reference point, I have a Bear Montana at 45lbs and with a 440 gr arrow I shoot at 152fps, so your 41lbs at 177fps is really spectacular. Way to go guys! I love the slight angle in the grip to help open up the sight window too.

That turned out beautiful!! And I’d love to bid on it but I’ve been I. The hospital being treated for meningitis.

Depending on price I would love a kit bow. If it's under $250 I'd have to buy one.

What is the draw length when testing those bows.?? That is important info that you are leaving out...

Hey there, I am about to attempt my first bow with some pin oak I got hold of. Just wondering since it's going to be a self bow whether it's ok to have the back of the tips a little wider rather than the front to work as tip overlies as I want to use the flat face of the log to make the bow and would rather not glue anything onto the back of the bow at all.

I'm impressed with how much you're able to get done with so little machinery. Great job guys!

I have a 85#@31inches monarq korean bows with 4.5 gpp it goes like 280 fps which is insane for a trad bow its mostly about design example OTTOMAN FLIGHT BOWS

Did you try turning normal bow into Penobscot to make it stronger?

What finish was used for this bow? I'm looking for something I can put on top of a tru oil finish. Would really appreciate input, thanks!

Pleas What is the song at minute 16 ? and thank you for your dedication for archery

Sorry to know Zak has gone, doesn’t seem that long since he joined you.

love the video, I am wondering if I sent some really special peaces of wood would you be able to use them to make a bow for me?

Switching to your dagger is faster than reloading.

I really like the aesthetic of narrow bow limbs. What would happen if I got some very heavy draw weight laminated recurve limbs, and cut them narrower to achieve the desired draw weight with narrower limbs?

❤

Ive been bingeing these tutorials like crazy lately and i have a few questions. So i have been wanting to get back into archery but this time i want to put my carpentry skills to work and build my own. the problem is i prefer really light draw weights like around 20 pounds or less. is it possible to make a wooden self bow with that light of a draw weight? so many tutorials have bows with crazy draw weights and im not sure where to start. any advice would be amazing. thanks for the amazing content!!!

I follow your channel from outside America. Man, you look like Belgian footballer Kevin De Bruyne 😅 hasn't anyone told you this. 😅

I would like to purchase one

My man actually calling a belt sander a belt sander, not a belt grinder, how refreshing lmao

Where did you get your medallions made? 🤔

Lighter limb tip is always faster

Do Meridas bow

Several other things you can do to make it faster and smoother , go to 1/2 inch tips, reduce tip overlay thickness and add more taper to the lams.. If you want even more speed, make the press so the tips are as forward as the back of the bow , it will get more twitchy then tho..

So what design improvements made the performance difference?…

Drilling the handle and gluing a piece of metal there reduces its strength?)) Why not use laser engraving, or hot stamping...

Do you carbon laminate your bows?

How do I make a private bid?

Do you make ambidextrous bows?

How many thousands tapers do you use in your limbs? Try grinding your tips down to 5/8 “ . Have you tried putting in a tip wedge for extra speed. Nice bow tho

How can re shape carbon fiber 40 lbs limbs ?

Unless you are going for distance, a bow used in combat in primitive society or for small game does not need to be heavy in terms of poundage. A quicker bow would be more useful. After a 40-45 lb bow will very easily put an arrow through a human body or take small game like birds, shoats, small pigs, hares, or rabbits.

170 is not enough. Ideally this is 60-65 m/s for a 40 lb light arrow (22 grams)

My question is if I had you build me this with a 27" draw, how much?

Did u start the bid at 10 bucks

Ok! Here is a serious question from a non knowledgeable person. I am 5'4" tall. Does it matter of the length of the bow, and poundage of pull?

$11

🇦🇺😀🇦🇺

$100

The editing is getting out of hand. Netflix ought to be looking at a meat eater style show for y’all. Keep it up 👊

I'll put my 130 lb Korean bow and see what's faster lolz FYI don't beed to build a bow when someone in Korea has been doing it for 3000 years already

I think you got some crap on your lens

makes kit bow does one himself, writes a corny name and signature on it "1 of 1" nah fam that's just a kit bow that you made. like wot m8 lol

This was annoying your making bows not cartoon man stick to the process that got you here

I have a question for you. I bought a custom made bow second hand. It's a takedown bow. The limbs are 70lbs. I have a really hard time drawing that sucker. The limbs are not laminated on either side however the front or back of the limbs have a special knock at the ends. What is the best way to tiller the limbs down to about 55lbs? I was thinking of sanding the belly.

Is this really a bow or a modern tool that looks like a bow

I would love to have this bow, but i have like a 34 inch draw. So i cant really use it🫠

Should take it to 1/2” tip and see what happens?
