Lost count how many I broke.... :eek: Its a learning curve.

cant see mark- but did it break right where your spruce overlays ended- maybe then the insert cores- faded in nicely might help more

Mad Max · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2015, 10:52:00 PM »

yep

been needing to do that anyway

fujimo · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2015, 11:47:00 PM »

now make another half- and you can build a two piece take down :D

Glue up issue Mark? Looks like it broke right at a joint.

Mad Max · « **Reply #8 on:** March 12, 2015, 04:50:00 PM »

Pearl
I think I squeezed the glue out

BOO YAH!

Mad Max · « **Reply #11 on:** April 16, 2015, 05:32:00 PM »

I got the tip stack as a core on this one

The skins look real good. Pine Hollow Bow has the newer one\\'s

Sweet!

That's a boatload of reflex. Bet it's fast ... And scary to string.

Very interested to keep seeing the evolution of see extreme static tip bows.

Nicely done cross-over between modern cutaway handle and ancient Manchu string-bridged design. Personally I'd like one without the modern "prosthetic" grip

interresting nocks mate- but they would make me nervous- scared the string would fly off- totally unfounded though- just very different.
how did the cores work out for you. a little bit trickier to layup, but seems to work well
cheers

Looks really cool, bet its fun to shoot too.

The layup on these bow is hard to do
but i like the challenge

I made a R/D bow in 1/3 the time

fujimo · « **Reply #18 on:** April 17, 2015, 10:48:00 PM »

awesome job man- looks great
looks like you have the hose on the back of the bow- looks like that worked great!!

fujimo · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2015, 10:58:00 PM »

what are the dimensions of that bow-
length when strung
length of statics
and angle of statics.

i found that the one i built was really stacking the last 2 inches of draw for my draw length- i am going to have to build a slightly longer bow now for my DL.
