Step 1 Choose draw weight at 28" and max draw length. Step 2 Choose main wood type:

Step 3 Choose handle style The straight style handle feels more like a longbow grip in the hand. The modern style handle is shaped to the contours of the hand and feels like a modern grip that you would find on a take down recurve. The Rounded is a compromise between the two.
Step 4 Choose handle materials. Plain (v) Handles can be left plain with no wrapping. This is often done on yew warbows, it is also the cheapest option.
Laminated Wood (v) To create a truly distinctive and stunning handle, it can be made from laminated wood of your choice.
Handles may have 1, 2 or 3 laminations of any of the following wood types:
If you have a request for another wood type, we can try out best to source it for you. Leather Bound
Handles can be bound with leather which not only looks great and gives great grip but also reduces handshock. The leather can be bound on top of a soft piece of leather or foam to give a soft handle which reduces handshock further. Leather types available:
Binding Material Avaliable:
Step 5 Choose Nocks Really set your bow off nicely by adding end nock laminations in the same wood as the handle. Brown leather handles are complemented very well by dark woods such as black walnut and Ipe. The materials avaliable for nock laminations are: Ipe, Bubinga, Oak Burr, hickory, horn and antler.
Step 6 Choose string
