Ok, so one of my bows I am working on is a 65" NTN osage with 1.75" at fades going up 10" straight and then 1.75" to 3/8" at tips. I finally got this bow tillered ok. but not its at 40lbs at 28". I draw 29". I was thinking of piking the tips, but to get it up to 50lbs, I figured I would have to take off 2" off each end. That would put me at 61". I figured I need to sinew it or rawhide it.
I heard I can also get 3-5lbs possibly with sinew per layer, so I have to account for that.
