That yellow will work. What is it. How long of a riser? looks like zip tie form?

It is zip ties and washers. Kinda like a belt and suspenders...

Belt and suspenders is for guys with Buddha bellies

I feel like Rip van winkle been plowing for 3 days came home this thread was small, went to bed woke up had to read to keep up , really like the yellow wood Kenny nice combo , Don't worry Mike he will loose the training wheels on the next , Kenny how much reflex is on that design at 60" ?

kennym · « **Reply #48 on:** January 21, 2019, 09:38:51 AM »

The zips weren't holding the stuff really even on edge of form and I figure on a RC the straighter the better!

Ritchie, everybody seems to figure measured reflex differently but the short answer is 2" ahead of riser back.

According to Mike's bow, I may have 60# @ 28" here.... with BP glass that might equate to 56# so we will see in a bit...

Just curious if it works out I will be up to testing one or 2 or 3 for 2019 in spring 👍🏻

Pretty

My limbs are 1 5/8-9/16s and tapered back only 10 in. So if you taper all the way from the fades you may loose some weight if need be. Just more trouble to tiller. And the stable core is a plus. Those veneers are nice

No worries with it, think it was too rad and tips too stiff , blew up when I drew it ....

I’ve ripped the glass off there so I can regrind riser and use it on next one . May have to re do on form and lessen hook a bit

Ouch.

Sorry that happened Kenny... it was looking like a beauty. Man to think of the stress at that point to break like that....

kennym · « **Reply #59 on:** January 21, 2019, 12:38:03 PM »

With the big hooks and the superlam it put a lot of stress in midlimb cause the hooks weren't giving much. Unsure right now whether to make one with just a 001 taper instead of superlam or rebuild the form....
