Historical Flatbow Bows laminated in Bamboo and other woods

Victorian Sinusoidal Flatbow Historical Bows.

Technical features
Back in Chinese yellow Bamboo or Japanese Madake.
Belly (towards the archer) in Bolivian Ipe or Ipe, Amaranth, Osage in the core and Hickory in the belly
Handle in layers of different thickness and material (Amaranth, Ipe, Hickory) to favor rigidity and distribution of the load from the handle to the tip.
Tip in water buffalo horn or deer horn with a hardwood reinforcement to avoid lateral torsion.
Handle in twisted strip leather.

Recurve bow with sinusoidal design.

The profile of the bow is semi-elliptical with the space for the thinner grip of the limbs.
The limbs taper towards the ends while the central part is asymmetrical to improve the distribution of the energy generated by the traction of the hand.
The handle is integrated into the bow between the belly and the back and is an integral part of the central part of the curvature.
Lengths: 64", 66", 68" and 70" according to the archer's draw length. The best performance is obtained with a 68" bow.
Load from 28 to 55lbs measured at 27 inches.
Maximum draw length: 26" for the 64" and 30" for the 70". Draw lengths greater than 30" are made only upon request.
Arrow speed test carried out on a 35Lbs bow, 68" length, exceeding 160fps.

Derived from photographs from the mid-19th and early 20th centuries and from drawings found in treatises of the time, it underwent some necessary adjustments during its construction due to the different consistency of the wood used at the time and those used today.
The result is a very fluid and reactive bow comparable to a modern Longbow of the latest generation.
The arrows must have a well-calibrated spine to obtain maximum performance.
Thanks to the thinness of the handle, the window effect disappears completely and no compensation is necessary.
With this measure, it is possible to switch from a modern Longbow to this bow without any difficulty.
Each bow has customized tips with different shapes and sizes.
