Another Herter's 46"
« on: March 16, 2011, 09:50:00 PM »
Attached are some pics of a Herter's 46" reproduction I just finished up.  I started this bow back in November and it came out lighter than expected thus sat on the shelf for a while.  

It has .040 brown ULS, Actionboo cores, Actionwood riser with a white phenolic stripe.  I used a .030 walnut power lam in front of the riser to ease some of the stress on the fades.  I have white and brown glass overlays on the back, bamboo and brown on the belly and osage and white phenolic on the tips.  It turned out 37# @ 28".  Thunderbird flat epoxy finish, velcro rest.  

Pics are a little dark but I dont see too much daylight this time of the year.

They shoot good at 28"...and that is about it. It takes a 42" string.

Not too bad in fact...Silencing these little suckers is sometimes difficult, but its a good shooter.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Wow- another nice one Brad!! I like how you did the overlay on the riser. You are right on them being good shooters too- I'll be field testing one next month on some turkeys.
