Re: Trad Bow Soft Case - 63" for long bow or recurve

Thanks Daryl, l did wonder about this - the longbow Im most familiar with at the club is less than 60" so I thought Id start with what seemed to be (???) a longer more common size. Custom would be a good idea as its hard to predict what will suit the majority. The first case I did was a copy of...

Re: Bowstringers - not so knotty

Thanks for that Daryl. The thread is a good read. I'll give the tip to tip a go. A longbow is on my list for the near future, so will have to try them out our trad shooters bows next shoot.

Hi All, I've been working on developing a hard wearing protective soft case for both recurve and long bow for a couple of months now, and have finally got the first few ready for sale. A couple of prototypes have gone to members of my club (the old WRA Wyndham - now West Melbourne Field Archers) who...
