Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting How to build a laminated bow

The next step is to cut out the sight window and shape the grip. I drew the window onto the tape on both the back and belly of the bow. The window will be 1/8th inch less than center.



I used a hand saw and chisel to remove the wood.
