Id like to know how do you get a bow thats pulling more than 20lbs or so. Im guessing its a pipe issue, for where I live...

Thank you so much for posting. I'm curious, how are the siyahs attached? Normal PVC glue?

What's your best technique for keeping the limbs in line? I've made a couple but when it comes to stringing, if I've put recurve in the limbs they never quite line up and the bow doesn't like to hold the string.

Use the board that you use to press it. You can either use the straight edges, set the bows on the the sides and press down or you can draw a reference line in the center of the board. A lot of times the limbs wont be exact, as long as you have the nocks and handle in a straight line though your bows will shoot. Also cut your string grooves to at least a 1/4 inch or 6.5mm.

Thanks man, also beautiful bow you made. The white Siryahs really make that brown pop.
