Here's the new, improved, redesigned "Kaliska" (formerly midsized recurve) for this year. I used a little less lumber in the riser, so it has less curve on the back. But using the same amount of limb materials as the old design, (54") I can get an extra 1/2" length per limb, due to less curve on the back. This gives the bow another 1" of draw before it starts to stack.
This one's 54" long, (50" end to end when braced)
41" @ 28", works well with a 6 1/2" brace ht.
This particular one I used cocobolo for the riser, ash limbs, and black glass.
I used one seamless, one piece tapered lamination for the bow, at the weight of this one (41# @ 28") I could attain that draw weight using only one wood lamination, keeping glue lines to a minimum.
The grip is ergonomically desinged for comfort regardless of the size of the shooters hand, inspite of the small, trim, grip.
unbraced
A prespective of the grip, I don't have huge hands
(I've been trying to get off the big bulky riser bandwagon for a while now, there's so many out there that are offered with big, deep, heavy risers and those are good, but I try to fill the voids in the market.)
