Selfbows

I finally got moved in to the new house. I have my wood stacked in the garage, but have not started building a work bench yet.

Good discussion of Meare Heath and Ashcott Bows

I'm planning to attend the Fall Classic at Farmland Conservation Club in September. The web site has maps and schedule.

Here's a picture of the quiver I made last year. I made it from some scrap leather. The size was determined by the minimum width of the scrap. I would use wider leather if I did it again, so I could use larger folds to stiffen it more lengthwise. I would also make a more gradual transition between the tubular part and the hood, to make it stiffer. I made the strap pretty long. It hangs almost parallel with the ground when still hunting. When my arm is fully extended my fingers are touching the arrows. I know I am moving too fast when the arrows start moving in the quiver.
