3 pc takedown ?/Now finished with pics

[Don Batten]

after 2 simi sucessful one pc longbows, Ive started my 1st 3pc. I got the limbbolt inserts from bingham and some from a buddy. when you drill, what size bit do you use. do I measure outside the threads or inside the threads. also what glue do you guys use. I got a jig to keep everything in line. thanks Don

You should probably spend a few more buck with Bingham and order the plan.  It's worth it.

[Kanga]

You want a 27/64" drill bit for the holes and a 1/2" NC13 tap to thread the riser wood.

I used devcon 2 ton epoxy, for the inserts, available at Walmart for a couple of bucks, Becareful, dont use so much that the bottom of the holes fill up.


good Luck

Mike

I glued up some action wood for the riser.
 
 

got the riser rough cut and the limbs on.
 

[Don Batten]

cut in temporary string grooves and gave her some multiple pulls on the tiller tree. I figure if it's gonna blow up I want it to at this point.

this is what the grip looks like. Kinda used one of my Rick Welch bows that I like.

It turned out 58" 49@ 28 and shoots right where I look. Proably gonna be my hunting bow this year. DB
