ElMont L. Bingham 

“The man and the vision behind the bow kit” 

Bingham Projects 

801.399.3470 Fax: 801.399.3471 

Born and raised in Randolph, Utah, known by many as one of the coldest places in the lower forty-eight 

states, ElMont L. Bingham grew up in a typical country family, making his living with his hands. 

ElMont recalls his first adventure with archery, or as they knew it back then, “a bow ‘n arrow.” While in the 

third grade, ElMont fashioned a bow from a tree limb and an arrow from a willow. With the use of common string he 

had his first bow and arrow. One day while in the class, and not doing his reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic, he strung his 

bow, carefully nocked his arrow and launched it with the technique and accuracy of a well known Robin Hood. The 

flying arrow was next seen sticking in the history teacher’s prized possession, not a mounted deer, elk, or antelope 

head with trophy-sized horns, but rather a picture of Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States 

of America. Needless to say, this act by such a young man was not well received, and in ElMont’s words, the penalty 

was such that he was sure he would never cast an arrow in a classroom again. 

This was the beginning of a hobby that was to be a part of him for a lifetime. Following his years of required 

education, ElMont studied and graduated in 1950 from Utah State University in Industrial Arts with a Teaching 

Degree in Secondary Education. After teaching school for several years, he returned to the university and in 1959 

completed his Masters Degree in Industrial Arts Education. 

While teaching high school industrial arts, ElMont sought to develop programs that would allow students 

the opportunity to be creative, learn to use their hands and to experience success. One of his many projects, which 

became a popular yearly event, was building a recurve bow by following a tried and tested design that he had 

developed. As time passed, it became obvious that if a person, student or adult, had access to a few power tools and 

followed directions, he could build a recurve bow that he would be pleased to show even to his greatest critic. 

In 1959, ElMont started Bingham Archery, later to become Bingham Projects, Inc. He offered tried and tested 

instructional materials, prints, and bow kits for building the Recurve Bow, the ever popular Take-Down Recurve, the 

Longbow, and the Take-Down Longbow as well as the finest in bow making materials. 

Since 1993, his son, Elmont M. Bingham has continued in the great tradition of his father, assuring every 

opportunity for the avid archer to become a successful bowyer.

Helpful Hints for the Novice Bow Builder (FAQ) 

It is a very gratifying experience to 

build your own traditional bow, 

and then to shoot that same bow with 

predictable accuracy. It is my hope 

that each of you will become a successful 

bowyer and archer. There are a few false 

notions and some common problems 

in building bows which new bowyers 

should be cautioned against. After more 

than fifty-two years in the archery business, 

either building or teaching others to 

build bows, I have been asked thousands 

of questions about bows and related 

items. I have compiled the answers to 

these questions in an attempt to prevent 

problems that might frustrate a novice 

bowyer. 

I am concerned that I might not fully 

understand the whole bow making 

process. How do I get started? 

The first concern is the most important. 

Watch the video and read the instructional 

materials carefully, plan your procedures 

in detail, and make a dry-run with all 

materials and equipment you will need. 

If, after carefully doing these things, you 

still have questions, please feel free to 

call us before beginning your project. 

How Should I choose my Bow Draw 

Weight? 

Make archery fun. Choose a bow draw 

weight that is comfortable, less than what 

you are capable of pulling. Many new archers 

become discouraged and quickly 

lose interest in the sport when the bow is 

so heavy that it is not fun to shoot, or when 

the bow is so heavy that accuracy is lost. 

Most states have a legal weight of 40-50 

lbs. for big game. On a cold fall day when 

you are stalking a buck, a lighter bow is 

a joy to shoot. The secret to success is in 

accuracy, not in muscle. In target practice 

or tournament shooting, an even lighter 

draw weight may be more desirable. A 

heavier bow can be considered once you 

have practiced, muscles are firming up 

and you are getting a feel for archery. 

Bow Design 

It is of great concern to me that some 

prospective first-time bowyers want to 

revolutionize archery design. It seems 

to be human nature to feel that your own 

design will bring about superior 

performance and artistic design 

immediately. Personal pride in one’s 

own handiwork is notable, but remember 

that experimentation is usually a slow, 

painful, and often expensive process. 

Sometimes a change in recurve design 

can cause limb twist, weight change, and a 

lessening in performance. You will notice 

that, in a general sense, the limb design 

is very similar throughout the archery 

industry. Often bows from various 

manufacturers will appear different 

because the riser section (handle) may 

vary in design, shape or color of material. 

How do I get rid of hand shock? 

I am asked repeatedly about hand shock. 

You often notice this when shooting a 

longbow for the first time. After you have 

shot for a while, you will become less 

aware of this when you release the arrow. 

You are less likely to notice this when 

shooting a recurve, take-down recurve or 

even a take-down longbow. It is a simple 

law of physics, relating to weight and 

mass. The flat longbow has a heavy, long 

limb and a short, light riser. The motion of 

the long limb cannot be absorbed by the 

smaller riser, thus the hand shock. When 

compared to the longbow, the recurve and 

take-down recurve limb is shorter and 

lighter with a larger and heavier riser; the 

shock of the lighter limb moving forward 

is absorbed by the riser, thus lessening the 

hand shock and giving the “soft feel”. 

What is “stacking”? 

“Stacking” is a term which also bothers 

novices. This is the amount of increase 

in weight as the bow is drawn. It occurs 

in all bows, but can be intensified in three 

ways. First, the bow may be too short 

for the draw length. A longer bow could 

help this problem. Second, the ratio of 

fiberglass weight or thickness should also 

be increased. Third, the more radical, or 

pronounced, the limb design, the more the 

stack will increase. The use of multiple 

tapers in a limb can also cause stacking. 

Which bow limb laminations should I 

choose? 

For many centuries bows were made 

from a solid piece of wood such as yew 

or osage. The bows were household tools 

used to hunt food and as protection from 

enemies. Most of these were longbows. 

Later, recurve styles were laminated with 

strips of sinew or horn for more efficiency. 

Now we have high-tech materials which 

have revolutionized the archery world, 

both in efficiency and design. 

Compound bows are usually built 

from solid fiberglass limbs because 

of the great stress in the limb design. 

Traditional bows, however, are built 

from outer layers of glass laminate over 

wood cores. The vast majority of today’s 

bowyers use a core wood or cane laminate 

combined with an outer layer of Bo-Tuff 

Glass. Bow draw weight is determined by 

the thickness of these two materials. Bow 

design and length also determine 

poundage. Careful records of micrometer 

readings of total limb thickness can be 

very helpful in determining bow weight. 

Weight control is a science which must 

be mastered by a good bowyer. Instructions 

from manufacturers and suppliers 

are also invaluable to the novice. Example: 

The Bingham 58” Take-Down 

Recurve bow will vary approximately 1 

lb. for every change of .001 of an inch 

in thickness. The Bingham longbow will 

change approximately 1 lb. for every 

change of .003 of an inch in thickness. 

Bow Glass laminations come in 

several widths, thicknesses, lengths and 

colors. There are a number of core woods 

available that can be used in bow 

limbs. Refer to this catalog for a 

list of many of the most beautiful 

and best performing core wood and 

cane laminations. These laminations 

can be purchased either tapered or 

parallel. Tapers are most commonly 

used in a .002 per inch taper 36” long. 

Some bowyers use several tapers with a 

.001” taper per running inch. I prefer a 

combination of a taper used with 

parallels. With this combination, you 

achieve excellent limb action and a fast, 

smooth limb. 

Overlays can be glued to limb tips to 

furnish additional strength and color. 

Core laminations may be dyed to add 

variety under clear glass. Always use a 

water or alcohol based dye. 

Which riser should I choose? 

With traditional bows (Recurves, Take- 

Down Recurves, Longbows and Take- 

Down Longbows), riser (handle) woods 

are chosen for color, beauty of grain, 

strength and ability to take a good finish. 

Avoid soft woods as they cannot 

stand the stress of a working bow. Avoid 

those woods with an open grain structure, 

those that will “bleed” color, or 

those whose oily nature prohibits a good 

finish. 

With the advanced technology of high 

stressed limbs found in compound bows 

came multi-lamination risers made from 

blocks of 1/16” veneer. These laminated 

risers are very strong and are available 

in many colors. Another way to achieve 

a colorful riser is to laminate combinations 

of accent strips made of hardwood, 

phenolic or core-tuff. This will furnish 

strength and beauty. 

What is the difference between UL 

and ULS glass? 

ULS has a 50/50 woven fiberglass inlay 

(scrim) that provides cross strength (90 

degrees to the longitudinal axis). This 

scrim layer will give strength lengthwise 

to help reduce longitudinal cracking. 

For most designs, however, UL and 

ULS work equally well.

How do I determine my draw length? 

The easiest way to measure draw length is 

to nock an old arrow in your bow. Draw 

your bow back to a full, comfortable draw, 

and have someone mark the arrow at the 

point where it meets the back (target side) 

of your arrow shelf. Carefully let your 

bow down. Measure from the base of the 

groove of the arrow nock to the place on 

the shaft that you previously marked. This 

is your draw length. Add 1” to that measurement 

and that is your arrow length. 

This additional 1” will give your proper 

broadhead clearance. 

How do I correct limb twist? 

Refer to our instructional material for directions. 

If you still have questions, give 

us a call and we will help you. 

How do I determine the thickness of 

my limbs? 

You can find the Bingham Bow Draw 

Weight Chart in this catalog. For our recurves, 

the limb thickness is composed 

of 2 pieces of Bo-tuff, 1 parallel, and 1 

taper (.002”). The total limb thickness is 

the sum of all four layers, the taper being 

measured at the butt end. For our 1 piece 

longbows and our shallow t.d. longbow, 

the limb thickness is composed of 2 pieces 

of Bo-tuff, 3 parallels, and 1 taper (.002”). 

The total limb thickness is the sum of all 

six layers, the taper being measured at the 

butt end. For our pronounced t.d. longbow, 

the limb thickness is composed of 2 

pieces of Bo-tuff, 1 regular taper (.002”), 

1 parallel, and 1 reverse taper (.002”). The 

reverse taper is simply a taper that is reversed 

so that the thin end of the taper is 

at the butt end of the limb. The total limb 

thickness is the sum of all five layers, the 

regular taper being measured at the butt 

end and the reverse taper being measured 

at the thin end. In the case of the t.d. bows, 

the wedge is never considered part of the 

limb thickness. Additionally, please note 

that this chart is accurate for Bingham 

Bows and designs only. We are happy to 

offer advice if you are using your own design, 

but we cannot guarantee an accurate 

limb thickness for different designs. 

If you are ordering a limb lamination kit 

from us and plan on following one of the 

Bingham Bow designs you do not need to 

figure out your limb thickness. Please just 

state your desired weight, width, length, 

and draw length and we will figure out the 

rest for you. 

What do I need to build a bow? 

Please refer to page 5 for Recurves, page 

6 for Take-Down Recurves, page 7 for 

Longbows, and page 8 for Take-Down 

Longbows. 

How long will it take you to process 

my order? 

For a custom order including wood or cane 

core laminations, risers, tapered wedges, 

or phenolic accents, you should anticipate 

anywhere from 1-2 days for processing, 

depending on the season. Winter is routinely 

the busiest season so please expect 

a slightly longer processing time. 

Orders that do not require custom parts 

are normally processed and shipped within 

1-2 days. Shipping time will, of course, 

be determined by your location. 

Can I check the status of my order? 

Yes, but only if you ordered online. Just 

go to www.binghamprojects.com and 

click on view order status on our home 

page. You will need your order number 

you received in your order confirmation 

e-mail. 

What is the difference between 

Dacron, Fast Flight & D97 string? 

Dacron is the standard for traditional 

bows. It has some stretch to it. Therefore, 

it is a little more forgiving for your bow. It 

is also a little quieter. Fast Flight and D97 

don’t stretch as much and therefore transfer 

more energy to your arrow. They may 

give you increased performance. D97 will 

give you slightly better performance than 

the Fast Flight. Make sure that your limb 

tips are reinforced to be able to use Fast 

Flight and D97. 

All Bingham Bows will handle the increased 

strain of Fast Flight and D97, as 

long as the tip overlays are finished to an 

appropriate thickness. 

How thick should I make the tip 

overlays? 

If you are using Fast Flight string, a thickness 

of at least 1/8” should be used on the 

tip overlays. 

How do I measure bow length? 

The easiest way to measure the length of 

your bow is to start at the string groove, 

follow the curvature of the limb along 

the belly side of the bow, across the riser 

area, and follow the curvature of the 

other limb to the other string groove. 

This will give you the a.m.o. bow length. 

What is the difference between D.E.R./ 

Versamid and Smooth-On? 

Both of these epoxies are excellent. 

They both have the same strength, heat, 

and cure time properties. They only differ 

in mixing ratio and viscosity (thickness). 

The D.E.R./Versamid (formally 

known as Epon/Versamid) is a 2:1 ratio 

and is thinner. The Smooth-On is a 1:1 

ratio and is thicker. 

If, after reading all this, you are still 

asking the same question, “Can I build 

a bow?”, the answer is still “yes”. Good 

luck on your project and that next trophy 

might well be shot using your very 

own handcrafted bow. 

Yours for better shooting, 

Bingham Projects, Inc. 


Over a half century ago, ElMont L. Bingham, founder 

of Bingham Projects, Inc. (formerly Bingham Archery), 

envisioned a way to provide the avid archer with the means to 

become a do-it-yourself traditional bowyer. To accomplish 

this, he drafted How to Build Your Own Traditional Bow 

manuals, full sized blueprints, and later, videos. He brought 

together the best component materials and developed 

traditional bow kits. 

As today’s leader in the industry, we continue to provide 

the finest quality supplies available. The weekend bowyer 

and the professional bowyer alike are able to experience 

their dreams of building beautiful Traditional Recurves, 

Take-Down Recurves, Longbows, Take-Down Longbows, 

or the new Reflex/Deflex Longbows and Hybrid Longbows. 

Mr. Bingham’s vision continues to be the traditional archer’s dream come true.
