Never built a bow myself, so this is pure inexperienced opinion lol but i think mesquite would be pretty wavy. The ones we have around here are not the straightest grained trees by a long shot. very interesting idea though, and again i have no real experience.

Thanks guys, that gives me some better idea. Unfortunately, i don’t have any archery shops around my area.. not with traditional bows anyway. compounds wouldn’t be a very good test-bow for obvious reasons. i think i’ll down the weight to 55# or so, and see how it works. If that’s too heavy, i guess i’ll just have to hit the weight-room 😉

Texas has some big boar. Not pure “Russian” but more of an American-Russian hybrid. Still, i’ve seen some up to 400 pounds here close to the border. Some of the ranches i’ve seen have packs up to 20 strong
