Tip wedge ?

[Dmaxshawn]

Was thinking about trying one in my next bow to see what happens.  For those of you that use them I was wondering about some dimensions for a R/D longbow?   I was planing on using either tapered glass about 4-6 inches not sure though on thickness.  30,40, or 50 glass feathered out.  

Also would I need a power lam with tip wedge ot can I use just a tip wedge.  I have used power Lams only before.  Just wanting to experiment some.  The bow already has a good profile.   Thanks.

I have used them and they were about .030 and in the six inch long range.  They will make the end of your limb stiff which will give you a better string angle at ful draw.  Will also shorten the working lenght of the limb.  I would use a light weight wood instead of glass in order to save a little limb mass.  I don't think it is a requirment that you use a p/l with the tip wedge, it really depends on what you are wanting the limb to do.  
I definetly understand having a good limb profile and wanting to experiment.  Always looking for perfection.

Thanks Jess.  I'll use some aboo cut offs starting at 30.

Shawn- what Jess said- the ones I use on longbows are 4"s and I usually make them out of wood instead of glass.
