We have tilered several bows and they are coming out between 25 and 55 lbs depending on what the boys want. Even the 25-30 lb bows shoot very fast.
We also made a string jig and have made several Flemish Twist bowstrings out of spectra line.
We have set up a small shooting range in the back yard to try them with. I will get up some pictures shortly.

Bows
The past few weeks we have been working on our bows.
We have 10 red oak bows coming along. All 10 were measured by troop members, and then roughed out on a band saw and lightly sanded.
They all have fiberglass drywall tape backing and the last few have handles now
On to tillering the bows, making strings and going to shoot them at Salt lake archery
We will throw up some pictures soon.
