Yes I have built many self bows, however now with R.A. I do not do as much shooting as I used to.
Now I spend most of my time building custom rifles but archery is still on my mind.
The Penobscott bow is my weakness and I have built 17 of them in several of their different styles. Researching these bows was fasinating but took several years. I did several articles for Primitive Archer magizine and we ended up on the front cover it was really great. I wish that I could shoot the way I used to but time does not allow it now as I do not work as fast as I used to but the bills remain the same. If you go to webshots I think some of my bow pictures re still there. Search for Penobscott bows I think you will find them.
Your bows look great and also the arrows, unless one builds a self bow and makes their own arrows from natural materials they do not know the work. Nor do they know the thrill of hunting with a bow and the arrows they took days to create. Nor do they know the pain of loosing one on an iffy shot at a 3D course!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH where is it????? If any of you want info on the 6 different styles of the Penobscot bow feel free to contact me. The last version is actually Mic Mac design and the only one of the designs that was actually a war bow. It is kind of cool as the back bow is extreamly reflexed and the back bow strings slide on horn "glides and atetch close to the grip on horn knocks.
