Stabilcore
« on: July 04, 2018, 01:27:39 PM »
The good news is that Kenny has it in inventory!

I have seen the benefit of it in RD designs.  The stability factor is surprisingly beneficial. It's easy to reduce width at the fades and narrow the tips.   When I get around to building a personal RD it's going to be 1.25 at the fades, 62" NTN gradual taper to to 5/16" tips (Lord guide me in laying out centerline) and somewhere from .003 to.004 thickness taper (open to suggestions here!)

It can only be more beneficial to a recurve design, IMO.

All of the above spoken from a foundation of "several" 16oz Mich Ultras.  Reader beware  :biglaugh:

I just found out today that my state lowered the legal draw weight for hunting bows to 30 lb. from 40 lb @28 but at my 31 '' draw I have always had to make my bows at Ruffly 46-48 lb @31 '' to stay legal, I have always wanted to make a light weight late season hunting bow at 40 lb so I was just thinking about narrowing the r/d design and using the stable core it's funny you brought up the topic ,but my thoughts are powered by muscle milk and coffee...lol :coffee:

I've always wondered how stabil core works.  I'm fixing to place an order with Kenny for a couple pieces and some Bearpaw clear.

I like that it's thinner than Uni-Weft, which I've used for years.  I can't wait to try it out and compare.

So stabikore is .015 thick so should someone reduce their core lams by that much in order to Be able to add it in or more?

I have been curious about stabilkore myself since I saw that Kenny got some.  Anyone know how much it affects the stack?

I haven't tried it yet as the first bow was to test a bow with  Bearpaw glass up against the bow I built with Gordon's, but when I do try it I will take .015 out of the wood stack...
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I been using it for sometime now. I just subtract it from the wood stack. And have been putting it close to the belly of the limb as possible.
