I too made a Tamarack one last year and it had very little power. The wood is flexible and durable but the density might not be nearly enough. I had it tillered to 30 inches. I broke it but that was a result of curiosity and over straining it. Making a hunting weight bow from just Tam would be pretty tough. The upside was that it was super easy to work the wood. I am going to continue experimenting with designs & combining other woods with it. Good for practice if nothing else.
