I’m with ya on deer season, still using bows, no time to build.

56”!!! Your getting shorter and I’m considering a building a longer bow. Lol

kennym · « **Reply #82 on:** December 22, 2018, 07:52:41 PM »

Yeah, I really wanted it to be 58" but I think 56" will work too. Wondering about stacking tho…

Actually while in stand tonite, I thought about having both sets of nock grooves in it. 2 bow lengths...

You would gain some weight on the overlays tho.

Forwardhandle, the reflex is in there, without the super lam with tip wedges, the string is closer to limb than with. Guess the SL bends the limb in midlimb a bit. Buuuut on the TD without SL it didn't stack as quick as with. Man what fun!!

I hope somebody somewhere gleans some helpful info from this thread. My fat fingers make it hard to get the words to make sense!! LOL

Here I’m checking center at both nocks to line up with center of riser . If this isn’t a straight line it’s gonna be a hard road ahead. Especially on recurves!!

This one lined up great, had it been off I move BOTH nocks the same amount in same direction.

If you got those sides parallel to each other ---have you ever used a square to get your center. Once you get it to center just run it the length of the bow with a pencil on one side the other in case you are off a little bit.
I dont think it will stack as long as the taper is .001 or even .002 for that matter.

Im just curious how the string angle at FD is going to be on this one with out the SL , how wide are you thinking at the fades on this one ? I like how all the different configurations & lengths on this bow are being made !

kennym · « **Reply #87 on:** December 23, 2018, 09:09:23 AM »

I have used a combo square to get centerline but still check with string just in case it has a small bend end to end.

I’ll get a full draw sometime , much other stuff happening!

I need to back up a bit, before checking with string you have to lay out nock location. I clamp a yardstick on limb while limb is full width and for 58” I mark 29” from center and square a line across limb. Gives you a good starting point for nock grooves.

Then measure 5/16 off string mark and a couple inches past fades and draw it on there. If I built the same bow more I would make a template from phenolic to mark limb with !

Now I use the combo square and mark a 45 degree across limb edge, I file on riser side of line, this makes it come out with the three inch shorter string .

Now file the nocks , careful not to tear glass.

I file the grooves .100” deep

Do ya start that string groove with a three corner file. Keeps the round one from trying to go all over the place.

Finished up

Thanks Lonnie, as usual I changed up a few times after starting...
