Help with stack

[Mad Max]

I am going to make this bow 1" wide at the fades.It's 1.4 at the fades now.
the stack is .200 now, how much more on the stack should I try?? And what is the % of glass to wood ratio?

That looks interesting. Sorry i cant offer any advice, I make wood bows, so those terms are greek to me, but I do love seeing fiberlgass bows being built in new and interesting designs. Looking forward to watching this one take shape.

I went from .003 to .002 STACK Taper on a bow before, and it worked out well.

The glass provides 88% of the strength of the bow.  Stack THICKNESS depends on what draw weight you want.

What I was trying to say is from .003 to .002 made my tip width narrower. That is what I am going to do.


kenh thanks for 88%
what % of glass to wood? you don't use .030 glass on a .365 Stack
