3rd bow is the best bow yet
« on: January 14, 2018, 06:47:00 PM »
Hello guys, I scraped a lil more on this one ended up with 3/16 pos tiller. Decided to shoot it and after two dozen arrows new it was perfect. Nothing but a twang from the string when I release. Its accurate to so no fancy finish just sealed her up good plain Jane handle and by Tuesday morning we will be rabbit hunting. I got this layout from ole Roy thats Roy from Pa not ole Roy from the dog food bag at Walmart Thanks Roy and lots of help from every one else to. I like this design. I liked it so much I finished up a quiver ive been fooling with to go with it. Its 66 inches t2t 1.5 wide for 6 inches tapering to .5 at tips 12 inch riser. Its still pulling 42.8 pounds but I marked it 40. Only 300 arrows so far after the tiller tweak. I also rounded the riser out as much as I dared to get rid of that blocky look but it shot so good I'm leaving it alone. Thanks guys, one more red oak and ill be ready for that hickory I got.
