Mojostik arrived yesterday!

[EASTERNARCHER]

Well guys all I can say is I was at a loss for words when I opened this package from JD yesterday! I like classic warm woods, not too gaudy ya know...well this thing is absolutely beautiful!     I knew JD was doing up something special but my expectations didn't even come close!  Seriously, I laughed out loud, I stared in awe, and I was speechless all at the same time. I couldn't be more pleased.  Cocobolo riser with Eucalyptis burl flare(Gaboon ebony accent strips, heartwood juniper veneers and bamboo core limbs with elk antler tips. 60" - 52# at 28"....Take a look!

More pics...
 
 
 

Intiial tuning tells me I can use 500 spine carbons with 300grains up front at 29.5"....but I'm not sure I have it dialed in yet. There seems to be some noise on release which could be the shaft slapping the riser or shelf. I think the nock point may not be correct. but the arrows seem to impact pretty well. After about an hour of playing around this is a reasonably common group at 15 yards.
 
Any suggestions on tuning would be helpful here guys...nock height etc.?
I can't say enough good things about JD LUND and Whisperstik Bows. He looked after me very well and he builds an awesome bow to say the least. Thank You JD!

First take off the limb tip protector from the lower limb, that is the source of noise a lot of the time. I would move the beaver balls closer to the center. Start them about where they end now. If those things dont eliminate the noise, add another 1/2" of brace, it looks a little low. Do it in that order and you will find the problem.

Thanks JAshu...I'll try those things. Yes, the brace IS low. I found that out after this shoot. It had dropped to 6.75", now it's at 7.5 and the noise is better. I didn't think the tip protector
would cause noise like that. It fits quite snug.

Very nice looking recurve! Enjoy, stay safe and straight shooting.

He does make a sweet bow, you are gonna love it. That is awesome looking. I'll have to keep that wood combo in mind on my next one. I shoot a 53 @ 28 with a 29 1/2" 2018 and they are darts, can shoot CE 250 Heritage at 31", both with 125 gr heads, and a 31" 65-70 cedar. Your arrows should be fine, I just installed some string groove silecer pads and they helped the noise a lot. Scott

Very nice limb veneers! I'll have to keep that combo in mind.
