A different recurve

[jess stuart]

Sixby I can't decide if I should tighten up the radius or simply add to the recurve on the next one.  I didn't use a tip wedge on this one but intend to on the next one.  What do you think would be best?  I can also mount longbow type limbs to this riser, which is kind of cool as well.

I would lean toward the adding on to the recurve and tip wedges. My origonal Talon is basicaly a static without a need for a wedge. however I found that I had to put on a belly overlay to keep the glass from splitting at the notches because the curve is so tight.
the longer curve would be easier and super smooth to draw with the wedges. Keep them light weight. Like maple. What you will possibly end up needing is a deep pocket stringer with a deep pocket for the lower limb and a cross limb setup for the top limb. You don't want to twist and break a limb stringing the bow. Statics are notorious for that if you use a standard two tip stringer. god bless you and good luck . Steve

Thanks Sixby, I too was leaning towards both the tip wedge and more recurve. I really appreciate you taking time to answer.
