Thats it, I'm NUTS ----TEST result p 4
« on: July 27, 2013, 08:42:00 PM »
I have been perfectly happy makin and shootin D/R longbows, but awhile back I got a hankerin to build a recurve.   :dunno:  

I loosely based the riser deflex off a Kodiak Hunter.

From there out things are waaay different.

So different it may not work well. Its hard to string I already know....

I put some stuff in it that may or may not work.

The good thing is I cut some glass that had streaks on the end that I wouldn't ship out.

Its 60" and was shootin for 45 - 50@ 28....

So far it is 50@ 28 ,will prob be closer to 45 when done.....   :D

Jeez Kenny, I hope my questions a few weeks ago about wanting to build a short one piece recurve aren't to blame for your new venture. That looks like what I had in mind to build. I'll be watching to see how this turns out. Lookin good!

If I sent it to Ol Roy, it'd never break. He couldn't bend it that much!  :laughing:  

I probably won't ever like it as much as my longbows. But , a guy has to do what a guy has to do!!

Kenny..............

Once you get away from building longbows it becomes a slippery slope with the recurves, too many options and they are all fun to build and shoot. How long before we see a take-down model?

If it decides not to work for you, you can send it to me.  Not working for you might still run circles round my efforts.

Beautiful bow, don't think I've quite seen a design like it.
