It is gift for my wife

she is realy good archer. 138 ntn 35 lb at 28" , 29 mm sal 16 mm near bridges. Bridges from yew, linen bowstring, mas 375 gram. Bow keep nice reflex, after unstrung back to shape in few minuts. I don check on chrono but arrow speed looks very good,like in fieberglass tatar bow in similar draw weight

Lukas -- have you ever made a bow that was NOT most beautiful? Or do they not survive to be photographed?

Yes it is leather, maple core , hickory handle, yew bridges. I think handle from heavy wood give more shooting comfort . We shoot yesterday 2 hours , realy enjoy

Hi Lukas, very nice bow!
Two questions: In the crim-tatar, do the horn go all the way up the kasan to the string bridges, or can it stop somewhere along the kasan? And second, how are the string bridges fastend? Just glued on? Wrapped with sinew?
If it breaks you get to keep both parts.

Bridges just glue and horn go up to Bridges, long horn strips about 60 cm
