I just picked up the supper lam sled from Kenny it probably wouldnt take much to modify a supper lam custom made to work shorter or longer wedge or PL sense your doing the dirty work I would bet you could talk our buddy into making one when you figure out what you want  :goldtooth:

I wondered about doing that, I am really liking the shorter bows and was curious how much of the wedge would be lost.

Where is Kenny? We kinda hijacked his thread here. Maybe could shed some light on this??

I don't know MIA  ,we will have to bring him up to speed when he gets back...lol , Lonnie I will check the measurement on the stock supper lam over the week end ,but was thinking you could use the same sled replicated with a few inches shorter out of the middle to fit the new bow using the same tapers as the original & end up with thicker wedge , I like this threads makes your brain work !

Sorry folks, lotsa stuff going right now with work , shop , the lease, huntin , and a grandbaby. :bigsmyl:

Lonnie the SL has a 11” wedge on both ends. So if you shorten the riser also you can trim that end some . I like at least2” past riser end. There’s 14” in middle of lam that isn’t wedge , you can check the math on your bow.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

On the Asian continent my math skills would be referred to as "sucky much" but it sounds like if I have a 15" riser I would get about 3.5" of power lam and a 60" bow would end up with about 4-5" of wedge? Does that sound about right?

The way I figure it on a 60 in bow with your string groove 30 in. from center you get about 5 in. tip wedge before the string. Witch would be about perfect.

So another thought that just hit me. Does the super lam replace part of the taper in the stack? Meaning, if I have a .001 tapered lam and a .002 tapered lam, does the super lam replace one of those or is it an addition? No doubt it will be figured in the stack!?!?

My SL is an .001 so if you need .002 then add a regular .001 etc.

Thanks for the PM and detailed pictures, Kenny.

I like that plan a lot better than your older one.

Especially the .003 reverse tapers on both ends of the super power lam.

My reverse form is almost completed too..
