Plans & Instructions came from "Bingham Bow's" They have been around forever.
https://www.binghamprojects.com
But I purchased the wood local, & Didn't do all the things that Bingham says.
Purchased "System 3, G-2 Epoxy," that doesn't require an oven to cure. and "Bow tough" fiber glass
some where else too... Saved a lot of money there.
Also used shrink wrap & clamps, and 1/2 bow mold rather than a 2 pc mold & the pressure hose
and clamps that they sell. & Saved a lot of money there too.
I think Bingham's set up is for people that want to male a LOT of bow's. As in hundreds.
I'm making a "Reflex/Deflex long bow for my self in the 40lb range, ( old shoulders cant take to much more than that.)
Coolest looking bow I have ever seen
60lb recurve for my son & a future son in law. and one for a friend and then I'm done with bows. ( Because I'll have mine.)
However... I might make a "Take Down" if I have the wood leftover... or I might buy more.
( Same thing happened with the kayaks.)
