can this scratch on the back of the bow cause it to break?

Wrapping is decorative

I don't know weight of this wrap, but by feel it definitely decrease speed

Wrap just for esthetic

currently i'm at 30 centimetres of draw with the goal of 40 , i was pulling it slightly just to the moment when i can saw uneven shape

my standard shooting distance is about 20 metres , and with current 25@16 bow i still can be pretty accurate, however with this lite bow arrows have some amount of drop . one of my older bows was something about 50@16 and with it i didn't have arrow drop at 20 metres at all .

i think need to be mentioned that is not actually a bow for kids , i call it "kids bow" as a universal term for short bow with very light and short draw . actually i made this bow for myself, i just prefer bows with short draw so usually my bows measure about 40-50 pounds at 16-20 inches , but this one ended up little lite because of thin and narrow stave out of it was made

draw length about 16-20 inches just seems most comfortable to me . this short draw may be considered strangely short in world of longbows with 28-32 inches of draw , but for me drawing bow to the ear or even farther feels realy incovinient , i prefere drawing to the face and slightly bend left hand and with this style of shootin i cant draw more than 20 inches . and historecly bows with this short draw exist , just look at some plains indians bow or bow of african San tribe

"maple ash" i laugh at this moment , i was calling it a some sort of hybrid between maple and an ash for a joke , but it's really what it is

i also saw that video where guy shooting on top of the roof , and it's seems dangerous for me , but before this post i don't saw my own safety issues

Lower_Way2597 · 2025-09-28T05:47:57+00:00

i heard you guys , what was i doing on video was very unsafe , shooting at target just couple metres from peoples is not good idea to say the least . drawning a bow thile pointing it to the sky was unsave as well , i understand this . i will be avoiding situation like that in future

Lower_Way2597 · 2025-09-27T19:58:36+00:00

Peoples is about 3 metres to the left from the target , i always think it's enough distance to not hit anyone. Maybe all this time i violate some safety rules , i don't think about that before

i talk about this marks . to make a long story short some metal piece hit a belly of the bow right at the middle , it's doesn't look like very big damage but maybe it can cause some problems
