Kenny,

That is brilliant, I really love it. If you wanna make one about 50#@27, you could ship it to England.

:D

I would love a set of plans aswell!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Pete

Thanks guys!

I don't sell any bows, just donate to good causes. Missed having one for ST Judes this year, may have to fancy one up for next year!

The plans I will sell, but only after finishing a couple and tweaking the design. So a few months out yet!

Kenny - You know I'm more into simple Hill style longbows, but that one is a real eye-catcher. That risr is very nicely shaped

I misread my speed square, the limb pad angles are 14 instead of 10.

Don't know how that happened!

Looks good Kenny. Great Job

Lets bring this back up.
Waiting to see what GREAT product Kenny has in the end.

Kenny,

I too am curious as to why you decided to go to a 3 pc. takedown? Based on your comment that you were trying to achieve "similar shooting results of your 1 pc r/d design" I would think that the added mass in the riser needed for a 3 pc. and the difference of reflex that you have in your takedown limbs made for a rather different feeling / shooting bow. Maybe not speed wise, but in the way the shot feels. It's a nice looking full-draw bow in my opinion, almost looks to me like a take-down longbow...

'cos we all been begging kenny for a 3 piece- for those of us who like a 3 piece.
and good man has risen to the occaision.
its gonna be a bit different for sure- but the same thoughts and ideas have gone into it as his i piece- and they have a mighty fine rep.
one more arrow in his fine quiver( sorry!!!)

Yep, def a TD longbow, just tryin to get a sweetshootin bow.

Here are the chrono results. Think it would gain a bit by adding some stack and narrowing the limbs down a little more. Wanted to keep this one up over 40-45 for now.

NOTE- this is with a shooting machine and a mechanical release, fingers will be 4-5 fps less for most folks.

First the 628 grain CX 250 w/250 up front...

46 @ 28 -- 13.65 gpi -- 156 fps
48.5 @ 29- 12.95 gpi -- 163 fps
51 @ 30 -- 12.31 gpi -- 169 fps
53.5 @ 31- 11.74 gpi -- 177 fps
56 @ 32 -- 11.21 gpi -- 184 fps

Notice she stacks a bit after 31"

Now the 395 grain CX 150 w 145(I think) up front

46 @ 28 -- 8.59 gpi -- 188 fps
48.5 @ 29- 8.14 gpi -- 195 fps
51 @ 30 -- 7.75 gpi -- 207 fps
53.5 @ 31- 7.38 gpi -- 211 fps

Ran out of arra length!

Very nice Kenny-especially for the first one off the form. Looks like you maintained that nice bend in the limbs like the one piece too.

huntwithastick · « **Reply #51 on:** June 25, 2011, 08:56:00 PM »

Lookin' good Kenny - when are your plans going to be ready?!!

TNstickn · « **Reply #52 on:** June 25, 2011, 10:08:00 PM »

Great numbers bro! Looks like the makings of a screamer!

bjansen · « **Reply #53 on:** June 25, 2011, 10:13:00 PM »

Nice job Kenny. The braced profile looks nearly identical to the original one piece.

fujimo · « **Reply #54 on:** June 26, 2011, 04:35:00 AM »

awesome kenny- i cant wait to build one.
THANK YOU!!!!

kennym · « **Reply #55 on:** June 26, 2011, 10:41:00 AM »

Thanks guys, I gotta build a couple more and shoot this one a bunch before I can let any templates out.

I love the way it shoots.

BenBow · « **Reply #56 on:** June 26, 2011, 11:14:00 AM »

Cool Kenny! I'm right in the middle of building one that's very similar. Looking to go for 56" to 60" with a very similar design. So hope mine turns out as nice.

Glunt · « **Reply #57 on:** June 26, 2011, 03:47:00 PM »

My thoughts are thats a nice design...I'll PM my address for the dollar. :^)

razorsharptokill · « **Reply #58 on:** June 27, 2011, 07:22:00 PM »
