Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Interesting idea though. I'm very keen to know how well it works.
Bill, where did you get the idea for this? Have you used it yet?
Please post something on this bow in action.
Cheers,
Huon
Its politically incorrect, so you wouldn't have a leg to stand on and be told to 'hop it'.
I'm thinking if Long John Silver would have had this crutch/bow he might have come out on top in that little treasure hunt.
ARRRAHHHHH!!!
ARRRAHHHHH!!!
Good piece of lateral thinking there 
Very Bushcraft. Was that just one crutch and what's the wood? I can't think where over here we'd find a crutch though!!Did it come already bent to shape?

I've not seen wooden crutches over here for years. good idea though, I'd also be interested in seeing how well it shoots.
You could make all sorts of sizes, i remember having wooden crutches when I was 4 so they would have made a great short bow

Someones going to shoot Bill??
well when ya can find the joke go for it...
I have not been out with this bow yet I have 3 bows I need to test shoot with in a few weeks when I am out for a 2 week trip....
it is laminated no idea what kind of wood it is...
it only has a 15 lb pull so its really only something to play with in camp not really one you can go hunting with but then again small game would be ok....
Nagual - thats very funny...

If you dont like the lower draw weight make it a bit smaller, chop a bit off and re-drill the bolt holes
