I recently got some nice rough sawn Hickory from an old mate of mine (he'd bought up a load from someone who was shutting up shop many years ago), I hadn't done anything with it yet, then my mate JT asked if I had a light weight bow to suit an 11yr old lad (about 20-25# and 25"draw).
It seemed like a good opportunity to saw out a slat of Hickory and give it a try.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pics as I was in a rush to hand it over to JT who was going to finish sanding it and fit a leather grip.
I took it to the club and actually roved with it! I had to treat most marks as a par 2! But I was happy to be shooting something light as my left elbow has been giving me gyp (tennis elbow), I even tried it shooting one of JT's warbow arrows which flew surprisingly far!
Anyhow I got JT to take some measurements for future reference as I'm thinking of maybe trying a 35# Hickory flight bow.
Length 55" nock to nock, 25# @ 24"
Bow width and thickness at;
Nock: width: 10.5mm, depth 9.0mm
Mid: width 20.3mm, depth11.2mm
Ctr-width: 22.3mm, depth 17.3mm
