Beautiful bow Rob! I am starting to really like the looks of that Paduak for a riser wood. Congrats. [thumbsup]

I gotta say Rob, I'm not a fan of Padauk with some of the combos, but with the caramelized boo, it is stunning. That is a nice bow!

I agree on the beautiful bow Rob...
I thought it was bloodwood at first. Very nice.
Kinda nudges me to the Hill side..(hey, that's a pad pun, but it fits)!

So String follow eases the release as in handshock? And the backset provides more arrow performance.
Is this set induced at the fades to affect the entire limb or by adding reflex to the tips and outer limb only?

Rob,

Is this the blank you ordered and finished, or is this an Ekin bow?

Rob,

I know you prefer the locator grip, but I also sense that there may be other issues with the pull apart sleeve that led you to use the hinge, could you be enticed to elaborate?

i've had several brass/stainless sleeve t/d longbows, the last was a st. charles pac yew. the sleeve works well if you are careful about dirt/dust/environment, but that is always an issue of concern. the sleeve makes for two unequal length half lengths of the bow, which means that a 70" ntn longbow will have one limb measuring nearly 40" whilst the other is about 3" or so shorter - this is a transportation issue (at least for me) the sleeve will only allow a straight handle.

the connexion hinge works well under the worst of conditions and no special treatment required. it creates two exact half lengths of the bow, which means that a 70" ntn longbow will have a pair of less than 37" half bow lengths. it allows for most any type of handle shape.

OK, if I've read these posts correctly, with a 26" draw length a 66" bow would be appropriate. Am I correct in this? If not, what is the optimal bow length for a 26" draw length?

I have a 25" draw... a 66" bow is longer than I am tall [Big Grin]

... at my draw, short is long and long is an accident waiting to happen, lol.
