ANyone work with carbon laminations in their limbs?

[eman614]

i read somewhere that black glass was faster than clear glass. the claim i read stated that the black glass was 6-8fps faster. is there any truth th that or has it even been tested?

the only reason i ask is cause legends said that the black glass was faster, but thought it was a result of the carbon placement. i'm just wondering if it wasn't so muck the placement of the carbon, but more the type of glass.

Black glass may give you 3 fps.
Legends it works better in a longbow. I just have not heard of anyone getting those kind of gains with carbon in a curve especially with glass over top of it.

eman614, You bring up a good point,That is a good question.I only found it to average 2 fps gain. Maybe it could be the dark glass. Ill have to check that out. Ill put the carbon in the middle of the stack like i do the clear glass and see what i get.Ill get back to you.

hey i was just wondering how much poundage does carbon add?? I mean do you just count it as a regular lam? I may just build me one but just kinda a guide line idea??

Double the thickness of the carbon plus 5 lbs.
Recurve using 20 on the back figure it for forty plus whatever it takes to make 5 lbs. >001 per lb on mine so I would figure an additional .025 into the stack. So if I mic the stack and it mics an actual .200 I would figure it for .225
