Did you put stablecore in it. That stuff helps a bunch. I think you still got plenty of hook with out getting crazy like a Morrison design and yes them big hooks are harder to keep straight. But if you get them right they ought to be quick.How she shoot?

Hooker Now I know you shoulda had pink in it.

No SK in this one, trying to see what I can do without it, then with it all should be even better! I was looking at your version, looks like a little less deflex (or a straighter mid limb) and a sharper kink at the hook. Amazing how little stuff can affect the outcome!!

Good deal on weight , I'm suprised the hooks didn't open more with no SL but bet it has plenty early draw weight , looks cool

I am interested to know how it feels after the shoot. Maybe I need to leave the tip wedge out. How long is that riser?

kennym · « **Reply #109 on:** January 24, 2019, 08:23:21 AM »

Haven't shot it yet, putting overlays on... the riser is 16" on it.

Thanks for showing this Kenny Im taking notes that .001 taper & no SL looks just about perfect for those short working limbs !

Looks like your getting it figured out, those large diameter hooks are a problem, very unstable regardless of how straight, does'nt take much to twist it out. Looks like you could make it even shorter and still get a smooth draw. What is the brace height.

Captain Hook?

kennym · « **Reply #113 on:** January 24, 2019, 12:44:41 PM »

Mark, I'm at 7" in the pics.

Ben, I like the short version-- hooker !! LOL

kennym · « **Reply #114 on:** January 24, 2019, 12:46:56 PM »

The way the limbs behaved at 60" on shooting machine, I believe the first bow blew because I rushed it drawing by hand to see how it felt and the limb turned inside out...

Like Mark said , the big hooks are tough to get working right. Prob why most big hookers use carbon at least on one side...

skeaterbait · « **Reply #115 on:** January 24, 2019, 12:48:32 PM »

The Carbon Hooker?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #116 on:** January 24, 2019, 02:40:46 PM »

Carbon hooker, sounds expensive.

kennym · « **Reply #118 on:** January 24, 2019, 04:18:44 PM »
