Unfortunetly my scales are off by almost 8 lbs. I was getting 46 @ 26 and Jeff measured the weight as 54 with the scales he used. Better higher than lower though!
I was devestaded when Jeff called and told me this as I wanted him to be pleased with the bow.
Too expensive to ship it back because of the length so I asked Jeff to cut the bow in 1/2 & send it back so I could reduce it and make it a takedown 2 peice. Jeff said "No way, I can't cut this thing in 1/2!".
The only option was for Jeff to do the reduction himself. Though reluctant to begin shaving the belly down as I described, Jeff started in on equally removing wood from the limb bellies.
I must say Jeff did a great job for a beginner, the bow turned out 46 2 26 and that is just where he wanted it to be.
Jeff, maybe my overweight bow started up an interest to build a bow of your own someday.
Here's a pic at full draw me @ 54 lbs and Jeffs rework @ 46 lbs.
Looks like the Z-Lander turned out to be a combined effort. Great job Jeff!
Again Jeff,,, if for any reason you're not happy with the bow, I will make you another. All you have to do is ask!
How is it's performance after reduction? Please describe the before and after if there is any difference in cast, set, or feel.
