You could up grade to something like this, about 8/9 foot tall

I had mine inside for a while but hated the noise...

I have no filter on mine. It goes thru the wall outside. The only time I really get anything outside is if the bin gets too full.

Butt load of reflex , hope she ain’t too squirrelly

Kenny, what kind of glue do you use to glue up the blank? Looks good.

Been using Titebond 2 , no probs with it yet.

Notice the pc of masonite pressboard in there? I was out of the right thickness plywood to make it work so this is a scrapped together form. LOL

I just added a pc of black locust .075 to the face. My template had a void and the pattern bit bearing went in very slightly so I used bondo and still wasn't happy with it . So had a long pc of black locust in shop, sawed and sanded to .075 and put it on with contact cement.

Now feeling a bit fuzzy from fumes. May need another coat ...

Niiiice shape.
I love serious preload in bows.
Hope IT won't shock.

The riser will reduce the reflex by 1.75"

That's where I messed up on first form, didn't study my plan enough!

James it is a 4 in. Dust deputy with a card board bin under heath. Amazing 95 percent of everything goes into it.
Kenny what riser length and forward taper. Don't think it will be to hyper.

kennym · « **Reply #31 on:** February 05, 2022, 01:19:17 PM »

Goin 14" again and .001 taper. No tip wedge on this one...

Lookin good Kenny. My shorties use a .001 taper with no tip wedge as well. What max draw length are you looking to achieve?

kennym · « **Reply #35 on:** February 05, 2022, 07:02:49 PM »

I’m not sure , javaman says he has a 50” that goes 29” so I’m experimenting

B-JS · « **Reply #36 on:** February 06, 2022, 01:21:01 PM »

50" with 29" draw may be built without taper.

My 50" Kids bow works up to 30" without hard stacking.
If you ignore the fingerpinch.

kennym · « **Reply #37 on:** February 06, 2022, 02:07:40 PM »

Finger pinch is inevitable ...

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #38 on:** February 06, 2022, 04:11:52 PM »

I think you need a good amount of deflex and a short riser. Have not built a 50 yet but I am guessing a 13 in. Riser. My 13 in. Has .004 FT. A 56 in. Will go 31 and 58 in. 32
The trouble with short risers is steep belly ramps

Lookin good Kenny
