Never built one, but there was fellow on the Leatherwall forum on Stickbow, that built a knock off 68" Blacktail TD recurve using the Bingham plans. -
Built one some years back. I used their reflex/deflex model in 64". Though not the fastest bow out there, it was one of the smoothest I ad ever drawn back. Gave it to my nephew after he took a quail with it.
I just might end up ordering a kit and building me another as well.Comment

If I had the skill, tools and patience, if I was going to build a Bingham bow, I wonder if I could copy my 66" Blacktail TD recurve and build it into a 68" recurve?
The guy on Leatherwall built his recurve with a Bingham TD plans and it looked like an exact replica of my footed 66" Blacktail TD, but it was 68" long and I think it was built with a 19" riser. I know he had to modify the riser because the Bingham riser in their take down plan doesn't look anything like a Blacktail's riser. The finished bow sure looked sweet!

Which one? the 68 flat bow, 68 mildly R/D or the new 62 Hybrid?

I'm thinking either the new Hybrid or The 64" td longbow.

I build a take off of their T/D LB. I have made a few alterations to Elmonts designs. But its a easy build to follow and it will give you some ideas of what you like and want to do next. I basically shortened the riser to get it down to a 58inch and reduced the thickness of the wedge.
I have the plans for the others but I just used them to lay out another 58 inch R/D LB. To try and get the LB I wanted. WOnt know until after the hunting season.
Best of luck ShawnComment
