64″ long with extensions – 40″ without.

3″ of backset at full length 

Unlock enhanced performance and aesthetics for your custom selfbows with the Kabash Outdoors Backset Selfbow Form. This innovative and durable form is an essential tool for bowyers looking to add precise backset to their creations, whether crafting a powerful longbow or fine-tuning a recurve.

Backset is a crucial design element that pre-stresses the limbs, significantly improving string follow reduction and increasing cast (arrow speed). Our form allows you to precisely introduce this beneficial characteristic, ensuring your finished bow delivers exceptional performance and a striking profile.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Optimized Performance: Specifically designed to add beneficial backset, which reduces string follow (limbs retaining their bent shape after unstringing) and boosts overall arrow speed and cast.

• Versatile Design for Selfbows: Perfect for creating traditional longbows with a custom backset profile, giving them a snappy, efficient feel.

• Recurve Compatibility: Ingeniously designed with removable extension pieces, allowing you to easily convert the form to apply backset specifically to your recurve selfbows. Achieve consistent recurve performance with added power.

• Consistent Shaping: Provides a stable and repeatable jig, ensuring symmetrical and precise limb shaping with accurate backset curves every time.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from robust, high-quality materials to withstand the significant clamping pressure and heat involved in the bow building process, guaranteeing longevity and reliable performance.

• For All Skill Levels: Simplifies the process of adding backset, making this advanced technique accessible and achievable for both experienced bowyers and those new to custom bow crafting.

Elevate your craftsmanship and build selfbows that not only look incredible but perform at their peak. The Kabash Outdoors  Backset Selfbow Form is the ultimate investment for any bowyer striving for perfection in their longbows and recurves.
