What length?

That looks like Kenny's FHLB to me what length are you going ? I like how you exstended your top form, I didn't do it on the R/D form and wish I had looking forward to seeing what comes out of yours !

One of those wacky moments. I saw the title FHLBow by Crooked Stick; and immediately thought

"Bow made from a Florida Hockey League stick??????".

We now return you to your personal alternate reality....

Yeah, but the locals call it swimming.

No sir glass in this hockey sticks too stiff. Yes Kennys template. I did not extend the top. That is how it was after cutting apart. going for 60 in. Working on the riser fit. I made two profiling jigs> one for the front and one for the fades. Will post pics later.

Very nice you will love the 60'' it's my fastets long bow I have & surprisingly shoots heavy arrows well for a short bow looking forward to your build !

The riser fade jig. I do one end and flip the riser so both ends turn out the same.

Looks good Mike!!

Looking good, nice riser jig.

Thanks. I got this one well under way. Going for 45 lbs. and it came in at 44.44 so the stacks are really close. I went ahead and put the Kenny M superlam in this one. I am pretty impressed with how this limb profile looks. And the fade tiller was dead on right out of the form. Have not got a chrono but this thing seems to smoke an arrow at my 26 in. draw. Feels a few lbs than it is also. I left the grip small. May add a little more on the belly side of the sight window area on the next one. Sleek and sexy.

That is looking really nice. I am anticipating some full draw pics soon

I need plans to build an ark:)

Mike, do you use a router to make your jigs? I like the looks of them.

Fishinglink · « **Reply #18 on:** September 10, 2018, 05:12:21 PM »

The more you guys post stuff on these FH bows the more anxious I get for mine to show up. Can’t wait until I get my shop more setup and start in on the mad scientist side of these.

beachbowhunter I usally make the initial shape with 1/2 plywood. When I get it perfect or near so I wiil build the bottom of the jig and use that for a template and route the base. Then add .220 plexiglass to the bottom side and route it. The plexi is for the guide wheel to run on. Getting a good fit on the jigs can be frustrating. Gonna try to put up a video shooting this one when it is done.
