While waiting for some epoxy to set and some finish to dry I was looking for something to keep me from having to clean up my area and it hit me, I built a draw board to make a DFC, so let's do it for another bow. This one is the KennyM design that I built. With the new bow scale I found out it's actually pulling 3 lbs more than I originally thought. Man do I feel strong now

I stopped at 31" when I noticed the arrow (on there for a safety catch) was about to fall off the back side of the shelf.

Now I know where to get some free rock salt... Wait I live in Florida... We only need sun tan lotion...

Glad you guys are alright...

Roy You better quit picking on my Sander Or I will have to come up there and send one of your bows through it and make sawdust out of it...

Yeah Kenny... Them clamps were a deal at about $3 a piece...

Skeats... What is the brace height on that bow??? If it is about 7 " You should get a reading at 9" of draw for your DFC... It would show more of the bottom end of the curve...

Looks good Lonnie! Which design?

skeaterbait · « **Reply #183 on:** January 23, 2019, 05:38:03 PM »

The 62" original. I wish I had done the modified but I didn't know any better.

Brace is about 6-3/4" if I recall correctly.

Yea. That’s him. I believe he is 6.5 or 7.5 years old. Has tremendous mass.

Thats one nice looking 4 point, regionally speaking of course.

Put underlays on the hooker , hoping to keep some string control without cutting too deep a groove in the glass. Tapered them .001 per inch with the thick end toward tips. .070 at thick end , then feathered the other end last 1/2" or so.

If you draw by hand, it is hard to not torque the limbs when letting down. Still haven't shot her, but checked weight at 43. 34 @ 28"

Starting to sound like it may benefit from a longer riser.

kennym · « **Reply #198 on:** January 25, 2019, 01:38:26 PM »

I like that part but I think the hooks need reshaped or something . I’m just gonna send it to pa maybe

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #199 on:** January 25, 2019, 02:10:29 PM »

Send it, always wanted to grind on a glass bow:)
