Anyone who doesn't see the genius in a 15 year old making a compound bow from scratch is really missing it. This is the kind of person that produces patents. Note to Reid: Don't let the envious get to you and piss you off...because that's what it is. Envy. Think of them as tiny yapping dogs not worth kicking at. I know...I was you 30 years ago.

Reid, you should make a video of how you made it! ;-))) To explain what techniques and tools you used! To do what part of the bow! What you used as fastener for the different pieces (glue, screws, bolt sizes, etc.) What's your string made of! How you attach it to the cams! And so on! That's IMPRESSIVE! ;-)

Wow, I'm impressed. Love it! I'm a longtime archer and amateur bowbuilder myself. I have but one suggestion. Where you have your riser glued together, specifically where the oak overlaps itself, once the glue has dried in those areas, I would drill through them carefully and then insert oak dowels (same size as drill bit - perhaps 3/8"), glue them in and then flush cut them on both sides. I think this would increase the strength of your riser and make it more resistant to forces of vibration. Although good wood glue is amazingly strong, I'm always very cautious about what vibration and stress can do to any material. Anything you can do to overcome these issues will make your bow better. If the unfortunate event did happen where the riser failed, especially at full draw, you could get seriously hurt. Otherwise, this is an awesome build. It's great to see young people using their creativity for things like this.

If you look at the handle or the joint you talk about, above the sight window you can see that I have actually already done that. there are three circles on both joints that overlap that are actually the dowels that are glued in. I understand the joint is only as strong as the glue if there were no dowels, and that is why I had thought ahead like you did also.

First of all it doesn't matter if he draws it without a arrow knocked, as long as he doesn't release the arrow it isn't considered a dry fire. and don't plan on coming back at me because I will always come out on top, thanks.

nice job. best I have seen yet. looks like the pulleys need adjusting forward, they are almost right. at full draw the should make it around to facing you that way the draw weight gets reduced then you will be able to hold the string at full draw and it will feel like nothing.

Hey, Reid, I am a 70 year old geezer, but I've been working wood for some 60 years. I see danger in your design if that oak is merely glued together on both ends of the riser. (on either end of the arrow shelf) Should this come apart at this juncture, the limb(s) could come back and hit you in the face. Not a pretty thought. One local made a take down bow, a limb came off and put out an eye. I'm not sure how you should reinforce this area, perhaps with fiberglass, whatever, but please consider what I am saying.

already thinking ahead of you, I had already made parallel bow limbs that are actually laminate to the shape. it has layers of both oak and maple, and it is extrememly strong. it will need to be sanded down because i believe it is too stiff right now, but i had made these limbs before i even made the bow. I still havent made the bow, but I have decided to do it in summer after school lets out. This new bow will be nothing like the previous, as the last one was just to work.

I shoot traditional, and thus am not very familiar with compound bows. I understand the cams and pulleys are meant to provide great speed and power with little drawing effort on the part of the shooter, but none the less I would think given how fast that's throwing "arrows" that it must be higher than 20 pounds draw weight. have you by chance had it's draw weight measured in the interim years since posting this vid?

Im kinda trying to say that this bow im making is going to be nothing like the one in this video. designed completely different in every single way. smaller and more compact, bent limb design, flat handle, single cam design i had copied from the Hoyt Carbon Element bow, new string, wider arrow rest, completely different riser shape and angle that go with the curved limbs, and even the axles will be redesigned. I consider the bow in the video as just a experament compared to this one.

If the limbs flex, its a real bow. Who made it is notihing to do with stress on the string. Its about the poundage AND draw cycle. If you make a bow you intend to shoot seriously, a compound, i would suggest fast flight or dynaflight 97. I use astro flight to make my compound bow strings

But i dont you want to spend $200 a pound on astro for a homemade bow. For modern compounds i highly recomend it. Extremely durable and softer on the shot. Grttaxi has a wonderful homemade string jig demonstration and many great videos. Dont forget to melt the ends and keep the string waxed. Dual cam binary cam cam an a half an single cams all have one string. Dual cams have one string and two cables. Single cams have one string and one cable. Dont forget the arrow rest.

I can't clearly see how you made the union classical builder is talking about. The body is sound and strong enough, there are what looks like two 1X1 strips along the body if it is this is where you can engineer more strength by replacing the 1X1 with a tapering gusset plate made from European (furniture grade plywood) screw and glue using a narrow screw, good tight joints and a good grade of polyurethane. Also you would get a better performance using ply and carbon sandwiched in as some of the plys in your Top and Bottom Limb. Great job, the first step in reaching any goal is to do it, That you have, the next is to make it better, Proof of Concept Evolution until you reach your target, Mature Concept. You are far ahead of many by starting out young, keep up the good work you might be running a compound bow company some day using a design that pops out of your imagination.
