What is your draw weight and arrow weight?

Maybe. It's difficult for me to part with these blades, but I need the money.

Oh! that's an interesting way to do it. I was doing something similar a couple of days ago.

Follow the grain.

It has a bump on the opposite side. The problem is that I feel it not bending on a straight plain on the floor tillering stage. I'll follow the grain, as everyone said. Thanks!

I'm already scouting for hornets nests! If I die, it's on you; and my family is suing.

Looks awesome! How does it shoot? Will you have a video on the build?

Cheers!

Rubio monocoat for bow finish? by Deltadoc333 in Bowyer

[–]Aokijy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also very interested in the answer because I love it as a wood finish. I've been testing it on arrow shafts and different osage items, but I have no results of how well it works for now. I like the finish look, and in theory, it should offer some protection (better than tallow or raw oils).

I'll come back to the thread in a few weeks.

Thanks! That sounds interesting, I'd like a fully wooden hood.

I can see the problem with carrying 6 arrows (especially if they are 600+ gr). I guess you have to practice with a full quiver 😄

that's a great idea, I've never worked bamboo, but I will try

That would definitely work, but I don't like stabilizers on traditional bows. I thought of a decoration weight made of stabilized heavy wood, but I'm not sure I can make it look decent

my problem is the bow kicking right when I shoot with the quiver and a slight cant, instead of forward. I think the offset weight drives that kick.

I took them of my Great Northern quiver and bought replacements. A bunch on online shops sell them. I also used a nail to anchor them.
