That limb design looks very familiar.... :saywhat: :saywhat: i'm not surprised you shoot it well.
I've been building that design since WTT 3. i think that was 2008 or 2009

Absolutely not Stic… have at it. Makes a great shooting bow, and shifting the lengths of your wedges with an .003 FT. That design will draw 33” on a 17” riser, with a 60” length.  or lengthen the wedges and shorten the working portion will give the guys with short draw lengths more horsepower. You can manipulate where those limbs start staking up…. It actually works better for a really short draw length to go to a 58” length and pike the limb tips….  Food for more thought.

Now if you can just get your wild color schemes tamed down a bit you’ll be golden… :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

I remember Chastains wapiti had a similar limb shape- Kirk what benefit do you see with that recurve shaped compared  to a more traditional shap?

Two things right off would be more preload and better string angle. The way the form is made that straight taper wedge does not seat on the riser until the bow is strung.
Kirk can prolly tell you more.

You’ve always had some pretty wild color combos going from time to time. I suppose as long as you are finding homes for them easily. What the hell… why not. :biglaugh:

I had a guy that wanted a fluorescent green action wood riser with a pink footing one time… I told him no problem, but you will have to pay for the special order colors up front, as well as the bow…. Never heard from him again… :biglaugh:

I was NOT going to get stuck with a lime green and pink bow….. Kirk
