Straight Limb ASL calculations just for fun
« on: May 30, 2019, 05:13:39 PM »
I have 4 ea .090 tapered .001 and one belly veneer that is .030. I will be using .050 glass totaling .490 . I will be 1.125" at the fades and 1/2" at the tip. The length will start at 70" and will have a 14" riser. Anybody care to guess what weight this will come out @ 28"?

Looks like 48.5# with that stack.

I disavow all liability and responsibility for all estimates.   Besides, you already ordered before I swagged it!

No worries Monterey. Lol. If it comes in light I'll cut it to 68" and if too heavy I'll trap the limbs. I have built several Rd longbows, but I have no experience with the Hill style.
