| The penobscot may have very well been one of the first compound bows ever made by human hands. Named after the penobscot indians who ingeniously figured out that this design could provide a bow that can actually have the draw weight adjusted up or down. It can utilize a light 30-40 pound main bow and after tightening the backstrings the draw weight can go quite high. The bow pictured here is set at 80 pounds total. The main bow is only a 48 pound bow. After setting the strings tight on the back bow this bow came to 80 pounds. Not much handshock on these bows eather. Such a simple design and comfortable to shoot with the narrow handle. Fast too! The back strings on this bow minimize string follow adding speed. This is one of the most versatile and sweet shooting bows you will ever encounter and is relativly easy to make. . | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Penobscot bow kit is an easy way to make a working replica indian bow with adjustable draw weight , minimal string follow , speed and low handshock. .The Penobscot floor tillered bow kit includes the main bow and string , the shorter back bow and String for the back bow .. All you need to provide is a bit of glue for attaching the back bow and some time. . The work you will need to do is simple. do the finish tillering to the main bow and drop it to a light 30 -40 pound bow or so (The back bow is already finished tillered for you ). Attach the back bow to the main bow by glueing it on and then tie the back strings into place .The tighter you get the back strings the higher the draw weight. Here is a hint. Bend the main limbs backward a little bit by putting the tips on a 2 wood block and clamping the handle down . Now tie the back strings on and when you release the clamp you will have very tight strings. The higher the block the tighter the back strings will be. BE careful not to use blocks higher than 4 inches. Now Shave the handle area narrow to fit comfortably and apply finish. DONE! You can also tighten the back strings by twisting them shorter or longer to make the draw weight increase or decrease. Its really easier than it looks.And, I am always here to help make this an easy and fun project. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Alot Easier than it looks by far because the back bow is already completly tillered for you. Instructions are easy. Simply tiller the main bow to the minimum draw weight you need and glue on the back bow dead center of the main bow on the backside. piece of cake!. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
