Roy, you spotted it. I never noticed before I saw the pic. Touching it now it feels like that part only got one coat of varnish all those years ago. Shame on me.

In the tip wedges. Lonnie hows that weight feel? I am pretty sure it is marked wrong. When I sprayed the first base coats the writing run on me. So I had to sand it back down. I had another one going that was 43
. I realized that after the fact. So rather than sand it down again I am telling you now. It is two lbs. over your 45 that you wanted. Looks like your grouping pretty decent with it. Hoping you like it.

I thought it felt a bit more than 43 but then I chalked it up to being tired from shooting all day yesterday. 47 lbs is perfect.

The bow is really great, it's comfortable, quick, very easy to point and I really like that grip.

Did I mention gorgeous? If I did not, shame on me for it truly is.

Beautiful bow

Good looking bow Mike. Lonnie, it looks like you are getting a good feel for the bow.
Gonna get my tillering tree built tomorrow or Wednesday. Hoping for glue up this weekend, weather permitting unless I do it in the house.

I got lucky on grip shaping I guess. I just grind till they feel good to me. When I can I get a tracing of the persons hand and compare to mine a go bigger or smaller. Everyone seems to like them. The last person I know of that chronoed one was getting 187 with 9ggp at 28 in.
Thanks for the kind words.

Excellent work everyone !

Well I got a string on the bow this evening.

Bow is underweight by about eight pounds. Which is even worse than it sounds, because I was aiming for the upper half of my victims range. So technically I missed weight by about fifteen pounds!!!!

Luckily I built it long. So I’m gonna try piking an inch off each end. Hopefully I can hit close to the low end of my victims range.

With all this progress, I just want to say that I think finally I figured out what I'm going to build this year.

Now that the hard part is finally done, I guess I better get on with the rest of it. Crooked -- can you help a brother out with some pink? I want to stick with the theme like everyone else. Whatever you made those wedges out of will be perfect for what I have in mind.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #1137 on:** March 18, 2019, 09:04:43 PM »

Been there done that, hope it works out dude.
