Happy birthday Mike

Thanks, Roy and Kenny.

Yup, rolled over 3/4 century. Had a gang of grand kids here. Many arrows were launched.

Kenny, a strip of Stabilcore could be up to 5#. Pretty sure you would've figured that into the stack.

Figured the .015 but no extra...

Happy belated Mike!

My parents, as of today, have been married as long as you have been making America great

Never learned to act my age!

When my wife and I got married our friends said we would grow up with our kids. We didn't!

Never seen stable core add weight as long as it was part of the total. Now adding it to your stack gonna raise the weight.

That was my reference figuring 1# per .003. I thought he said he used two strips.

kennym · « **Reply #2049 on:** July 24, 2021, 04:30:07 PM »

Yep but that was .030 of the stack

Also think you will find stablecore may not do the same as regular glass. Real flimsy and and needs resin to work.

Been watching the Olympics but I did miss the archery last night.

I cleaned up my shop yesterday... What a Mess...

I have been busy with Carpentry and pain... When I get done working all I want to do is lay down and take the pressure off of my hip and lower back... So I have not been very motivated to make bows in the off hours... Add in, this is the year I decided to fix everything that is wrong with my property, which includes three buildings and a big shed, leaves me little time to do other things... Also I will be visiting my family up in PA. for about a month...

When I get back the heat should be gone mid October, I think I will be making bows again... My next goal is to start tweaking the design I have and try to break 195 fps...

Well that's about it for me as far as bow making is concerned... Maybe I will be able to post some stuff in October...

After our 6th trip to the mountains yesterday looking at camps the past 2.5 years, we finally found a camp and sealed the deal in the front yard:)

3 acres of mature forest and a decent camp....

Dogs played hard and ready to head home:)
