More like 80# and the wife helps me put it in the drying box.

I figured 50# was conservative looking at the beast.

I have done it myself, maybe that's why my back hurts:)

Shredd I have been thinking about the same thing. I will most likely not get to it before the end of summer. If I do I will let you know what I did.

Both hands

Built a new form for a new bow design I started working on last winter. Hopefully gonna be a static tip recurve that I plan on making work with longbow limbs as well. I'm hoping the hook isn't to sharp for the lams to bend into.

what is the radius 4 point?

4-1/2" radius

Max, I didn't calculate out the radius. It looks a little sharper than yours. Could be that mine has more reflex to them. I'll find out tomorrow, gonna try gluing one up. How much lam taper are you using in yours? Do you profile taper your limbs much?

4Point... Good luck on your bow build...

Sounds good Ol' Rawhide... We'll compare notes...

Tanks Max...

Getting ready for some speed testing. Lining up square head shooting machine and two chronographs set up in a tandem confuguration. Hope nobody comes through the door.

Nice setup, Bue.

Indoor lightning on.

Mad Max · « **Reply #874 on:** March 21, 2021, 08:54:05 AM »

4 point .002-----just a normal width taper for recurves.
I use a 2" radius for static's but it will open up a tiny bit.

Nice setup Bue

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #875 on:** March 21, 2021, 06:00:58 PM »

Took the bow out of the form today.

Buemaker · « **Reply #876 on:** March 21, 2021, 06:23:43 PM »

Looking good Roy. Did you place the blocks who make deflex closer to the riser on this one?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #877 on:** March 21, 2021, 06:30:44 PM »

Yes I did, on the swap bow they were 11.5" from bow center on this one they are 11" from bow center.

kennym · « **Reply #878 on:** March 21, 2021, 06:32:45 PM »
