I call it Freebird .

60" one-pc recurve built from materials I didn't feel right about shipping for cosmetic reasons.

Ended up at 48# @ 28"(my scale was off)

I put .0025 total taper in 1.5" wide limbs with a superlam containing .001 taper and a builtin tip wedge and power lam.

19" riser , I took the deflex roughly from a Bear Kodiak Hunter that shoots very well. From there on out it is a whole nother beast.

Here are some pics.....

I think I will hunt with it first this year, so many bows , so little time!! :D

Looking good Kenny.

Thanks guys! I swear Freebird played on the shop radio almost every time I worked on it. It goes a bit deeper than that too....

Yes, I had real pants on this time so as not to traumatize anyone!! LOL

She looks sharp Kenny. I like her lines.

I know exactly what you mean, 'Copperhead Road' by Steve Earl is my personal favorite shop tune, if only my speakers went to 11!

That's pretty nice, Kenny.
Does this mean you're now a recurve man?

kennym · « **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2013, 10:00:00 PM »

Not really John, I wanna shoot a deer with it just to see. I do shoot it pretty well for me.....

It isn't louder, but has a little sharper tone or something. We will see. Got about 5 bows I'd like to take a deer with now...

Any plans for making kit plans?
