Hi Guys,

I'm totally new to this, but this looks a great forum to find some help.

I'm looking to make a carbon fiber riser and limbs for my bow below. However I need some guidance in doing so, and what to do about the screw holes etc.



Anyway hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Hi!
I am afraid it is not that easy, bows have to be strong but flexible and the have multiple layers of sorts of materials like balsa, wood, glass, kevlar, carbon. Without laboratory I think there is no way to produce serious, working bow. You can always buy some cheaper one and skin it with cf and pretend it is all cf...

Hi Wojtepanjk,


Other archers of this type of compound bow, have been experimenting with other materials, and one such example is that the limbs have been made from aluminum only. That's not exactly a flexible material, however the bow does work. I'm looking to make the bow as light as possible, the carbon fiber wouldn't be for appearance sake. Also the riser is not required to be flexible, its a rigid component, currently made of aluminum, why couldn't the riser be replaced with a carbon fiber version?
