I haven't posted on this thread in about 7 weeks. In the interim, I've received the 66", 47#@28 longbow limbs, shipped the riser and recurve and longbow limbs to Chuck at Two Tracks. Chuck sealed the crack on the lower limb of the recurve set of limbs, installed Black Micarta limb bolt pads on both sets of limbs and refinished the limbs. I received the limbs last week and shot both sets last Saturday at The Archery Shop.
I'm shooting my 29" BOP Alaska Bowhunting Supply Grizzlystik Sitka arrows out of both sets of limbs. The 62", 45#@28" recurve are quite fast, dead in the hand and quiet. The 66", 47#@28" longbow limbs aren't quite as fast as the recurve limbs, are super smooth, ultra quiet and more accurate shooting for me on a consistent basis.
I might note that I have put any silencing material on the limbs as of yet and they both are quiet, the longbow limbs even more so than the recurve limbs.
Chuck,
Thanks for the excellent craftsmanship you did on the limbs!
Bill
