St. Judes Challenge

[kennym]

Got a bow done today, it won't be goin to the St Judes, it has a couple fat glue lines.

Buuut will take some pics and maybe offer to build one like it in their choice of color and possible weight change...

Or should I just build another next weekend and it is what it is?  Hmmmm

Rebuilt my form to cure the glue line probs BTW...

Kenny, its up to you, but I doubt a kid would even notice the glue lines. I'm sure you are being picky. Also no reason you couldn't make two.  

[Roy from Pa]

Mine is ready for shaping the handle and final sanding, 48" tip to tip and 14# at 15 inches. Finally a bow I can draw back:)

Looking good Roy.
 I have my first one posted in forum 4 already. I hope I can get at least one more finished. I have one almost there, just need to sand it down and pretty it up.

This is the first bow off the new kid's bow press, it has a fat glue line on riser belly so it is stayin here locally.


This one is 50" ntn, 24# @ 22" and 28# @ 24"

Angle cut veneers, maple core, really zips an arrow.

24" is max draw for best results. any more it may stack and shouldn't be drawn farther.

I will build one just like it for the auction winner in this color(Desert Camo) , or Green Mountain camo, or Charcoal Grey , or Nutmeg Brown.

Your kid can have a custom just like Dad does!

He/She can pick their color and you can help em with the fine points like draw length and weight.

Very nice, Kenny. I notice ya can't pull it all the way back.    

[kennym]

Nope, scared it will get away from me. I made it to yer draw weight 24@22"....  

[Roy from Pa]

LOL

That's a cool little bow Kenny.

[kennym]

It is cool! I went ahead and built a top form for it, my hose and rope deal didn't go as planned!

I'm gonna build it to suit the auction winning bidder and this one goes to a little gal at the local pro shop. Her Dad and bro are gonna hunt with longbows this year, Bro killed a hog in TX with his and got em all fired up!!

Now they know it will get r done and they are wound up!!

[Roy from Pa]

What the matter Kenny, is your hose too short?    

[DVSHUNTER]

That's looks wicked cool Kenny.  Good idea to use those pics and let the winner decide the final specs. That should bring a higher bid for the kiddos too.

I spent last night working on my second kids bow for the auction. I shot it quite a bit yesterday and it smokes an arrows pretty well.It has about 18 inches of working limb and u was drawing it out to 23 in. It starts to stack there because I recurved the tips a bit. I still need to finish sanding, put a rest on it, skin it and finish it up. Oh and out the other tip overlay on it to. I am using gemsbuck horn this time. My phone is still on the fritz so I can't post pics of anything for awhile.

[DVSHUNTER]

Just an update. It broke! I have some bad juju going on in my shoo for some reason.              

That's two in a row now.

[kennym]

Thats kinda what I thought Dave, also choice of 4 colors...

Hate that about your bow, you may have to try a glass one....  

[Roy from Pa]

Oh Kenny, that just wasn't right son...  

[kennym]

[Roy from Pa]

Not mine, it's Dennys and you know that. Tip overlays glued on and ready to be cut out. Read your email son:)

[DVSHUNTER]

[Roy from Pa]
