Static TD
« on: June 18, 2016, 05:31:00 PM »
I had a short riser laying around without limbs so I made a new form and glued up a set of limbs for it. I'm taking a shot at building a static so everything is kind of a "wag". It's going to be around 58" and hopefully in a shoot able weight. I modified the limb pad angles on the riser t push the limb tips forward some and got the limbs mounted- with any luck I'll shape the limbs and see what happens when I put a string on it.

Lookin good David!! I haven't done a static, not much to cut off limb tips?

Not sure how much length after the bend a bow needs...

Mark- I'm still trying to figure out how far to run the limbs full width. I used .003 taper and have already cut the limbs to their final length.

Looking good Dave!  Did you use John's static as a inspiration.  Guess you could leave the limbs wide  as you could always narrow them down later.  I am with BenBow this should be fun.

Thanks- yes I did use Johns bow for inspiration- I'll probably go over and measure the limb width on his bow to give me an idea on how to taper the limbs on this one.

This will be interesting. Have you used loose tip wedges to achieve the stiff tips?

No tip wedges yet- just a pretty tight hook. If needed I'll add some to the belly. Here's a better picture of the end of the limb.

Looking good Trux!  I'm just finishing up a static form myself. Please post some pics and info on how you do your limb tracking and tillering. Looking forward to the finished product.
