Bow Klrs<br />

I used kits from Bingham<br />

Projects (see "Buyer's Guide,"<br />

p.64).You can select from a<br />

wide variety of wood species<br />

and Bo-Tuff colors for your Dow.<br />

The kits include:<br />

e Bo-Tuff - fiberglass strips that<br />

give the bow strength.<br />

r Four wood strips - two have<br />

a slight taper. The fat end<br />

goes to the middle.<br />

r Tip ovedays - micarta plastic<br />

used to reinforce the bow tios.<br />

e Riser blod< and ovedays -<br />

blocks of wood that form the<br />

handle and arrow rest.<br />

. Peper pattems - for bow and<br />

form shapes.<br />

r Steel hardwarc for the forms.<br />

o Pr€ssure hose with fittings.<br />

. Metal pl€ssut€ strip - distributes<br />

hose pressure evenly.<br />

r Index pin - keeps the riser<br />

block anchored in the form.<br />

o Plastic Laminate . provides<br />

a smooth, non-stick surface.<br />

o ReverseTaper Strips - opposite<br />

of the bow strip taper.<br />

. Themostat - limits the temperature<br />

in the heat box.<br />

r Slow-set epory. allows for<br />

unfrenzied assembly.<br />

. High temperature masking<br />

tape - protects the Bo-Tuff.<br />
