Well, construction will be slowing a bit soon, so I think I'll throw a bow together.

Just have to decide what to put in it and what design

60 in.FHLB carbon limbed Rocket ?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #2 on:** October 27, 2018, 03:31:01 PM »

FHLB for sure
. Be nice to build one with and one without carbon just to see if it really is all that> 3-5 if your lucky with it on the front.

I don't know, the 58" fhlb I cant seem to get arrows stiff enough for now. I have a 49.74# @ 28" bow and 400s with a quarter inch cut off (for a different bow) , added 90 grains of rope in em and have the side plate built out a quarter inch , still limber. I need to chrony this beast!!

You could use SK for a substrate for the carbon on back and belly, lower the weight to 40 lb you would have a heck of a old man late season bow like I need...lol

I think it should be a 60-62” FHLB at about 55-60#@29”. Black glass on the back green on the belly. Maple cores with a camo actinwood riser. That way when I order my pieces you’ll have the stack all figured out.

Hmmm, been thinkin... Did ya see the smoke?? (Had to beat Roy to that one)

Maybe a 60" forward handle …….. static curve.. Then if I ever get my riser profile sander done I can use same riser in both bows.. maybe..

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:14:09 PM »

Brand new design or something you all ready played with ?

4 point · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:44:17 PM »

Kenny, I've been working on the same thing. My handle might be set back slightly more than yours if your using the same handle pattern as your short long bow and mine will be a 59". All my stuff is odd.

kennym · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2018, 03:44:42 PM »

If I can use the same riser and deflex as the fhlb, it will be great but I ain't sceered to go all out new either....

But I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet, got deer to chase!!

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #19 on:** October 28, 2018, 04:48:12 PM »

Maybe ya otta go wif a longer riser instead of that shorty ya been using...

What will that do wif yer lay out and stack?
