Question for the group, as victims.... would you care if your bow was 2.35 # over target weight?

And Mike, I think the tip wedges are gonna set that off.

I’d be alright with 2.3# over.......but 2.35# is waaaay to much :jumper:

Dang it, I was afraid of that, I guess I am gonna have to rework it. And it was shooting lights out too, except for two shots but I'll take the whoopin for those.

Heck no!  Honestly getting a bow is a bonus, I'm getting so much enjoyment making one for someone I don't  know. Starting to think I must be weird :help:
Skeater, looks like you were focused on your shooting, until you got the dreaded pink wedgie :bigsmyl:

A little over or under is no problem.
All those awesome bows are starting to get the anticipation going.
My risers are ready now and I was digging through my wood stash for core lams. I have maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, Osage, bamboo flooring, and pacific yew. As well as padauk and purpleheart.
I also dug up a caul that I’ll use to pre-bend the recurve tips. I hope it’s warm this weekend. 🙂

2.35# isn't much of a % increase or decrease except for pinky guys...  That's 10% on a 23.5# bow, so you gotta take that into account... :biglaugh:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I hope 2.35# is all I have to worry about.  That sounds pretty good though for a takedown glass bow. Congrats.

I'm with Lignaphile........ this is more fun than getting a bow. They're all works of art worthy to make any recipient a proud new owner. Plus heckling the old farts ain't bad either  :bigsmyl:

I’m thinking 2# over top of your victim’s range is ok. It would be for me. But hopefully your victim speaks up directly.
