When I sober up I will see how it turns out

Your form with straps, looks like a Medieval torture device

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #263 on:** January 06, 2019, 01:02:06 PM »

Well Flem I dont know about that ,I see it as a 21st century torture device sence its taking me 3 test bows to get it dialed in...lol Im happy how this one turned out flaw less joints all around If any body has any questions about these forms I have a whole list of what doesent work...Ha!Ha! And as in the pics ,those micro light threw the riser view durning fitting are moot when glued up also learned a lot about working with carbon to , I got every thing organised now I think I could build one of these in a day now, I might try it , but this shorty feels strange to me being lighter weight mass wise ,just because I have been making thicker long ones ! I also modified the stack order on this one it only has 3 wood lams in it !

What riser wood? looks good form here.

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #265 on:** January 06, 2019, 01:46:00 PM »

That's the black and grey camo wood the lams in it are real tight and many ,kinda looking forward to carving it & Im using black glass !

Got a chance to get the tape off the bow & inspect the limbs today they are flat now with the changes made in the form , I will post the form update on the form thread if any body's interested.

I have been trying for weeks to get this bow profiled and strung caught a break today the pics are full draw opposite limb up & down going to bring the one limb a little more around ended up at 52 lb @ 30 1/2 so I got my 60" stack dialed in for .020 gordons carbon at my draw ,Im going to figure 10 lb this one should end up at the same weight as the other 60" so will be good to compare the all glass to the glass/carbon one !

Looks good. Those FHLBs handle the long draws quite well. Been using mine for indoor 3D season this year.

Yep fun to shoot fun to make if you have a long draw the 64 " is a real tack driver for 3D , I think I'm going to bring the stack up some and try a 62" at some point this year ,I feel good the swag worked out got lucky by the time I narrow & sand should come out dead on target !

Got a chance this after noon to round out the tiller a bit more feels good on drawing did the flip flop full draw , Im going to wait tell the belly over lays are on tell final tiller hoping to get the overlays on tomorrow weather willing this bow amazes me being drawn to 31" and maintains that string angle !

Looking good Ritchie

Flem · « **Reply #272 on:** February 08, 2019, 03:07:38 PM »

That looks pretty sweet! Bet it's fun to shoot.

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #273 on:** February 08, 2019, 04:07:33 PM »

Thanks guys I'm hopping to get this one shooting soon the other 60" is a fun bow to shoot I don't think I put it down tell I had 3-400 arrows threw it but there all fun I'm going to do a 62" carbon at some point this year I really like the shooting charechter of the carbon hard to put into words but the bow is just dead after the arrows gone !

Started fitting up my belly over lays should have this one shooting by next week end if work doesent get in the way ,seriously thought about doing a shaped cork & split cane handle on this one but decided on carved action wood !

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #275 on:** February 17, 2019, 06:46:28 AM »
