Build your own recurve bow with a kit.

Diy recurve bow from a kit. This tutorial will walk you through the process. There are many people these days who still enjoy hunting and target shooting with the old fashioned bow and arrows. However, with so many manufactured models available not many people would take the time and effort to actually make their own from scratch.

This article and DIY project was designed for the adventurous type who wanted to give it a shot. This tutorial walks you through all the steps of building your own recurve bow from a kit and is from, Popular Woodworking Magazine. The author of the article goes into extreme detail of the whole process from start to finish that they used to make one. They covered all of the steps and explained all of the items in the kit and how to make a finished bow.

I found a place that sells the kits and they have a choice of a Recurve or a Take-Down Recurve. The kits seem neat as you can customize them to make the bow you want. You can choose the draw weight, draw length, length, width, for right or left hand and the riser wood you prefer. The choices in the riser wood are hard maple, ash, jatoba, bubinga, shedua/ovangkol, paduak and ebiara (red zebra). They are all inclusive kits so that you can complete a bow of your choosing.
They are available at  Bingham Projects.

The difference between Recurve bows and Take-Down Recurve bows is that the take down bow will come apart into three pieces which makes it easier to transport and more discreet, as it can go into a pack. The recurve is a solid piece and is ready to use as is. Both function the same as bows. For folks that would rather buy a Recurve Bow or a Take-Down Recurve bow you can fine them by clicking on the blue name.
