I see people asking about the draw weight and even though that is a factor I believe in this case the tip speeds are what creates the force to penetrate those water bottles. Horse bows don’t have a lot of draw weight but are tremendously fast so they get a flat trajectory and decent penetration.
Craftsmanship aside (A+) what I really like about part 1&2 is the use of repurposed materials, any town or city you can find any number of businesses that have a pallet pile of scrap people can take for fires great free resource and old skis can be found in new and used stores, thrift stores etc at next to nothing for cost. Would love to know the draw weight and length FPS etc. Finally I must say with a riser like the one you built it deserves to have a nicely diy made laminate limbs, if you haven’t made them for it already I would gladly watch a video of that
Yo no entiendo algunas personas, cómo chucha le ponen dedo abajo, ,este tipo hizo un excelente trabajo y no es egoísta para enseñar,acá de Temuco chile.
This is so cool! Would you let this old archer give his opinion? I would not have painted black over ski manufacture symbols but clear coated so all the cool original graphics displayed! I would also spent more time on string/bow slots because of so much width of bow material! I'd get rid of wood knobs an make two part epoxy mix molded with something archery an cool inset in epoxy (example-shine up 4 quarters an dent them with arrow marks, then make epoxy knob handles with them).(something cool not just wood) I'm looking for set of skis because of you, you did Good! Tim p.s. not to brag, just thought you'd like to hear the story, I once shot a perfect 6 sets of 6 arrows or 36 consecutive bull eyes in college archery class along with another archer for 72 consecutive bulls on single target! After first-round with 12 arrows centered on target Instructor made us instructors an she followed our instructions (which was cool!) Everyone else in class stopped an just started screaming an cheering at each shoot an additional bulleye! Their excitement brought a crowd of cheering from around campus, we each felt like Robin Hood shooting for the golden arrow. Cool! Then on last 2 shoots I asked my shooting partner to have us both shoot together the last two arrows. I, being left handed, we stood facing each other, an had shoot so much now together, our releases were instant, an when last two bull eyes hit target, it was hugs cheers like winning some basketball game! Haha! A lot different response from my high school principal cutting up my newly made bow on band saw, all mad, telling us we can't make weapons! Keep shooting an don't let anyone cut up your bows an enjoy that perfect Bull! Tim
thank you for the great tutorial, but if you can make another one where you don't use old skis that would be helpful, cuz it's hard to find where I live we are more known for sand surfing lol, and your tutorial is the easiest to follow from all the videos I have watched before.
WOW. With your pallet-wood riser and used-ski limbs, this recurve is as quiet as any I have EVER seen on RU-vid--with or without string/limb silencers. Did you ever measure the bow's draw weight? I'd be REALLY curious to know what it was. Thanks for sharing your buid with us. Chris
Nice work. Interesting and workable. Improvement would be to tiller the limbs (balance the curve of the upper and lower limbs during draw), and use siahs on the limb ends for string attachment (better centering of arrows during release). Keep up the good work.
I would have to say love the river. I would have shaped the skies more like lims but beautiful job. Arrows seem to find their mark at 10 yards. How does the bow do at 25 to 30 yards.
Whoever tought you to shoot a bow did a good job!! I think yòu must have learnt long bow technique though as, like your style, it doesn't allow time to aim in the fully drawn possition as it isn't good for a long bow. With fiberglass bows you can hold them in the fully drawn possition without damaging the bow. Either way, you're GOOD! Ok, it's a short distance, but it's still hard to get those groupings at that distance (I have my archery instructor's head on!). Have you thought of joining a club? If not, think about it, you're definitely good enough to be winning prizes pritty dam quick! Very helpful video, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍😊
@@weaponizer4444 hopefully they will get more training times open in the future. Next you will have to try shooting with sights instead of "bear bow" style
Great job , and I sub. Only thing I could see wrong with ur build was , u just needed to tiller ur limbs. I know , it shot great the way it was , but it really should be tillered for smoother draw and performance. I make long bows at times , but ur recurve is pretty darn cool bro.
Draw weight question here as well, guessing 25-30Lb? I'd laminate the unused 'waste' part of the ski to the limb at the rear and increase its weight required to reach 28 drawlength, maybe a future adaptation?
@@weaponizer4444 quietly pleased at my good guess lol, My Mrs' bow is 20 and mines 40 (Plus tweaks...) Definitely a future project I reckon, finding the skis'd be the tough part for me haha :-) Good job man.
what wide limbs have, i just looking lazada shop and have 30mm x 6mm x600 long glassfiber limbs maybe this can use 2 pcs if made compound bow. but need somewere drawing both top have big roll i not know what have.but not have round maybe somethink ellipte, need dimensions and drawing can made riser, cut limbs and top rolls and how long need be string ????
I like what you did there. I just couldn't do it myself ...i dont have any patience ( more that waiting for my Hoyt Bow to be delivered ...great work weaponizer m. Yo do good work.
Not in any sense attacking the creator of this video it's just the common thing I come across when people operate power tools they wear gloves with over 22 years on the tools gloves are not going to protect you from Power Tools they will only reduce Dexterity
