Got a chance to work the 60" down a bit Im 49.5 lb @31 I took this one 1/16 past center figured Im ok with carbon in the limb I love this bow so far it has the same feel as the other carbon bow I got about 100 arrows threw it today this one is defently hunting this year I shot it threw the chrony at my draw of 31" and Im hat tricking 199 fps 10gpp with the 603 grain arrow Im averaging 187fps still have to narrow the tips & limbs yet , I will post the 28" numbers when I can get to a shooting machine , but Im sold on this bow in carbon Im going to make a 60" at 40 & 45 lb at some point, I pulled a 2 yr aged Oliva out to celebrate & keep the wife out of the shop so I can enjoy shooting my bow the rest of the day   :laughing: this bow is weighting  in at 21.6 oz so far

M R good numbers I think WTT they used a 6.5 brace and 9strand string on a shooting machine @ 28. If you are ringing the 200 fps @ 28 bell you got a keeper. I think the hot rods then 201 was the best and that was 6 in. brace and 6 strands. Not something you would trust for everyday shooting.

Thats a handsome bow you made there. Looking forward to seeing with some finish on it.

Thanks all but keep in mind these numbers are at 31" draw but I think when I get the limbs narrowed up and a proper string Im running a 16 strand D97 string on it now Im planing a 10 srand FF plus for it I think it will make 200fps or better this bow loves these 538 grain 2613s log of a arrow

As a testimony to the strength of this FH riser after some more sanding Im at 3/16 past center with the riser only 1 1/4 " thick in some areas but really like the way its shooting being more center still need to carve the riser more like the last one ,I dont know if I would go that far past center with all glass but with the carbon in there adds a lot of strength !

Got the riser carved down a bit more the overlay lined up well Im keeping track of the weight so I can weigh it against the all glass brother of this one 20.16 oz now I really like this grey bark pattern the pics dont do it justice it will pop well when I get the finish on when done I think Im going for grey bark riser back overlay & tips !

Got a chance to clean up the riser & overlays a little bit more with the shop lighting the pics look more brown but the true color is grey I shot about another 50!arrows today , this is my new favorite it shoots dead where I look its as accurate as my 64 " DR just very user friendly , Im going to shoot it for a couple weeks and keep custom carving the riser to my hand then final sand and finish !

Thanks every thing should be the same at this point I'm doing this one slightly different then the others I'm doing a double taper front view instead of narrowing the whole limb some times you have to stop when you get a bow shooting this good I don't want to risk changing it...lol but between lighting the tips & using a 10 strand string as opposed to the 16 strand on there now I'm going to Swag probably should gain at least another 8 fps at my 31" draw

Your bow looks like a continuous wave of wood.  Those 2613s are pretty.
