My wife has not shot a lot but wants to get into archery. I got her a little compound but she really don't like it that much. She wants a simpler bow as she has watched me practice with my longbow and likes that there isn't much to remember (she thinks) to send an arrow flying. I've had her looking a bows but she seems to think she wants a Horse Bow, one of them styled after the ones the Mongolians used. Yes they look kewl, but I don't think she is going to like shooting one.
So I had the hair brain idea that I'd build her a short flat selfbow and have been working on it for weeks. It is almost done and as soon as it is finished I'll put up some pictures. Of course I'm also building her some of my arrows to go with the bow, though they won't be selfnocked because the 5/16 shafts I'm using don't have enough meat, but they should still be pretty.
I sure hope I've not been going to a whole lot of trouble for nothing. Well if she don't like it, I guess I'll have a nice wall hanging.......
