Archery, making bows

[Shawnee_b]

I've made several bows. This is a take of of a 10,000 year old "Molebegat" The end pieces are stiff, don't flex. The center section does all the work yet the ends lever the arrow faster and for a 35# bow it's fast. Sweet shooter, very accurate, left or right hand doesn't make a diff to this one. It's oak, wax threads hold it together when not taken down. Very fun. One pic on the "tillering wall" getting even draw. Cow horn tips.

can you make a bow with all those wheels on them?

That's a compound. I could but I don't and don't shoot them. They are very good bows and a good design, sling an arrow faster, I just prefer traditional.
