In the words of Mr Stic, the mess has been made.

Well getting closer. Felt pretty close to xx@xx” using floor tiller however stringing it showed I still have a bit to go. Got it at 5” brace and looks like I have one stiff limb.


Tip overlays are on and roughed. They’ve got some weight to lose but that will wait until final sanding now.

Gotta buckle down tomorrow and build my tiller tree. Got all the pieces just gotta get it up.

ok so here is where I'm at. finally got the self bow straightened and some reflex added. had to go to Arkansas last week and atlanta this coming week. so in case the self bow doesnt pan out I have this takedown longbow almost ready to go. just needs final sanding and new bolts that should be in monday. either way a bow will be ready to go

Less than 1/16” tiller with a 6 1/2” brace. Got it to full draw without any weird noises.  Gonna string up my bow and see how it feels comparatively to this ones draw weight.  Something tells me I missed my weight by a bit.

Feels heavy but all I have to compare to is two of Kenny’s designs. I’ll have to get it on a scale and see but won’t be able to do that til Thursday at this point. If I’m not over then this thing is stacking horribly. Looks like I’ve picked up about an inch of set so far. Should shoot heavy arrows pretty good if’s she stays together.
