I managed to get a little bit done today. Grip overlays curing. and tip tapered and tip overlays on. Friday will get a string on it.

Got a string on it this morning. Lookin like finish at around 34@28. With my 26 in. full draw and the ligtest arrows (about 12 gpp. ) seems zippy.

I like the look of that bow what stack did you start with ? How's it look at full draw ?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2018, 05:13:17 PM »

.230 Cube root and B janson says I need.248.5 to get 46 lbs. I will get full draw pics. I have to remove a bit on one tip. Hoping that will take care of the vibration. I would say the tips are semi-static.

What brace height are you using ? I know when I made the first 64 in FHLB with all that reflex it was touchy tell I found right brace height, I relies different bows but cousins...lol

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #26 on:** November 23, 2018, 10:15:26 PM »

It is 8 right now. I think there is enough extra weight on the one tip taper that its heavier. May have something to do with the vibration. The limbs a very vertical stable (not floppy)

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #27 on:** November 24, 2018, 01:59:49 PM »

28 in. What do you think?

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #28 on:** November 24, 2018, 02:06:34 PM »

You can see where it starts to bend right out of the powerlam like the FHLB maybe a good thing acting like a shorter bow the bends look like there working for the profile how does it feel shooting now with the tips cleaned up ? Mike was that the stock supperlam in that one ?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #29 on:** November 24, 2018, 10:18:22 PM »

Superlam with >001 taper.Did not get the tip cleaned up today. Had a little time and just took this pic.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #30 on:** November 25, 2018, 04:21:24 PM »

I got the tip squared away. It helped some. Got shape the tips yet.

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #31 on:** November 28, 2018, 05:25:57 PM »

Hey Mike any progress on that bow ?? Those tips look pretty static from the FD pic !

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #32 on:** November 28, 2018, 07:16:26 PM »

It is ready for finish. Going to Notre Dame tomrrow to watch hometown girl basketball. So Saturday maybe get base coats on it.

You must like how it shoots if your making another

Nice one Stic..

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #36 on:** December 01, 2018, 10:40:43 PM »

Thanks Roy. Yeah Forwardhandle. It pretty quick and points good. Hoping the higher draw weight and denser wood may take care of most of the vibration. It is nothing that you cant live with anyhow.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #37 on:** December 02, 2018, 10:06:39 AM »

#2 under pressure.

I got the second one out. Did not change anything except about 10 lbs heavier and a heavier riser. Neither helped the vibration. Can crank the brace up to 8.5 and that puts a good dent in it. anyhow gonna get a couple more longbows done then re visit this one.
