Do I need plans as well as Binghams laminations.

[TomD]

I ordered some Binghams laminations to make a bow, but I never ordered any plans with them.

Should I order some plans and if so are they specific to the lams that I ordered or are they fairly universal. Alternatively can someone just give me sensible dimensions. I want a slightly set back longbow with a 16 inch riser.

Thanks - all help apprectiated - new to laminate bow making.

Yes you should. Check out their website for laminations (I assumed you would have ordered lams of a certain desired poundage) and suggested poundage as they are based on Bingham's design. Any changes to design will alter poundage and shootability (better or worst) etc. I would also suggest locally available design and laminations etc. Just google it. All the best.
