Yeah, buddy!  What a super looking bow!  I love watching the riser take shape and the wood start to show its character!  Awesome work.

Excellent job Brad!!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

I would suppose the taper rate would determine if the staticated tips would work the mid limb more or not.

Too bad you couldn't have done a trace at full draw before and after reinforcing the tips.

Thank you all.

Dang Kenny I should have traced it.  I never thought about that...that would have told us for sure.

The reason I wondered is on my 64" d/r,the tip wedge made the limb bulge(by lookin at the other test bow) in mid limb,but it has .003 total taper,didn't figure you had that much in a curve...

Nice work,the colors all blend well.Did you notice any improvement in cast or speed by making the tips more static?I have been thinking about trying that on one of my bows,thought it take away from the smoothness in draw by not having the tips open.

Thanks Bill.  I did notice an improvement in speed...but making the ends static inceased the weight..so I don't necessarilly have good comparable data. Additionally, I did not run this through the chrono or anything as I was primarily concerned with reducing the shock and vibration at the time to get a good shooting bow.  I think If I were going to design a static recurve, I would include a thin tip wedge in the stack and maybe add one overlays to the belly for looks and to stiffen the curve a bit more.  Maybe I will glue up another on this form and try that one of these days.

so you need 1 3/4" glass and lams for this form?  all of mine is 1 1/2" wide?  I keep looking at it and thinking that I might like making a couple short recurves with this basic bend and static tips...like a sheepeater?  with just a few mods it looks like it would work...?
