Dano, how do you keep form getting set? That is beautiful

Very nicely done!!

ranger, my guess is, he has set, just no string follow

How much reflex did that one start out with Dano? Awesome tillering job and I like the skins

Dano · « **Reply #23 on:** May 11, 2009, 10:18:00 AM »

This stave had a inch or so of natural reflex. With my dry climate, and taking it very slow while tillering, these D bows come out pretty flat. Prolly wouldn't have any set if I had gotten the outer limbs to bend more, but I like em a little stiff out there.

Thanks guy's.

Sweet little bow Dano. I'm liking them little "D" bows more and more. I finally got mine finished up. If you don't like it you can send it to me and I'll take real good care of it for ya.lol

Dano · « **Reply #32 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:22:00 AM »

Thank you John, sooo where's the pictures of yours???

Buz-AL · « **Reply #33 on:** May 20, 2009, 03:29:00 PM »

If all that extra wood you used is still too jarring in yer hand, Dano, you could try adding a soft bunny to further pad the handle. :-) Or maybe not.

Hope to see you soon, brother.

Dano · « **Reply #34 on:** May 20, 2009, 04:09:00 PM »

Hi ya Buz!! Are coming to Cloverdale? It will be good to see ya.

It's not the hand shock, it's just kinda squishy in the hand, I shoulda used stacked leather like I normally do.

bigcountry · « **Reply #35 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:02:00 PM »

Dano, is there a fast rule on how long these d-bows has to be for a certain draw?

Cool little bow.

Dano · « **Reply #36 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:51:00 PM »

Mark, I've never heard one, but if you take the rule for any bow and subtract the handle and fades you get a pretty good idea. Then you just gotta push your luck

bigcountry · « **Reply #37 on:** May 20, 2009, 07:07:00 PM »

Hmm, I want to make one. I would immagine a 60" would be safe for my 29" draw. Got a stave around here somewhere.

Dano · « **Reply #38 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:21:00 PM »

60" would be a good start, these are like eating Lay's chips tho

Buz-AL · « **Reply #39 on:** May 21, 2009, 11:24:00 AM »

I would hope to get to Cloverdale, but it looks like we're gonna launch one on the 11th, so that would be kinda like wishin' for bad luck.

Y'all go ahead and have fun without me though. (sniff)

:-)
