Adding mass

[Bvas]

Anyone add mass weight to their bows in any non normal ways??? Been shooting the 54” I made for my daughter. Really like the bow, but would like it to be a little heavier in the hand.
I know you can use heavier woods or add phenolic or fiberglass to riser to add weight. But I have a riser design in mind, and really don’t wanna change it.
I think it was Ben Pearson made a bow with hidden mercury tubes or something as shock dampeners, but they would also add weight. Anyone ever try something like that with lead or something? Ideas?

Put a thread insert in the front of the riser and screw in a short stabilizer weight.

Heck it's only a glass bow..

I would build another complete bow using heavier wood, glass in the riser. IPE is good

Don't you have a trilam to work on Roy???

James, I'm planning on building another for myself.  But I want to use domestic woods for the build.  
My daughters is made with zebra and purpleheart.  And it barely over 1 pound when finished.

Weighted running glove on the bow hand.  Adds mass to the setup without messing with the bow.

You could drill for some lead weights.  For example, 8 .54 caliber round balls would weigh appx 2200 grains.  More efficient shaped lead would add even more without drilling any more.  And, of course, as usual, smooth on is your friend!

OMC has future wood. I have used it and its heavier than Kingwood. I will warn you if you have not used it before it is tough stuff, will eat a sawblade, smooke and stink but it is very dense stuff.

 I use a fly cutter on the mill to dress the blocks up.
