Mark, what width or pull weight tape are you using?  I tried ski rope about 10 years ago and didn't like it. Hadn't heard of mule tape at that time...

James gave me this tape

"When pulling cable through conduit or innerduct, you have many options at your disposal; from using simple rope to elaborate contraptions using small animals and a trail of food (ok, I made that up). When presented with the problem of getting your cable through conduit, there are countless solutions but one stands above the rest: Neptco's MULETAPE. Found in a many varieties, each suited for a particular installation need."

If you can find someone who works for a power company or an electrical contractor, you may be able to get mule tape for free. A lot of companies will only use it one time to pull wire then discard it.

They don’t want to run the risk of a break mid pull should there be a weak spot/abrasion from a previous wire pull.

I've been using paracord with good results.  Not noticing any stretching.  It's important to evacuate all air from the hose, strap down as tight as possible with the hose perfectly aligned centerwise the full length of the form.

I had to eat my Wheaties to brace this one, was going for #40 but it has to be over #50

Needs a little tiller and a longer string, First Brace at 6-1/2"
Riser needs to be shaped too.

Looks good, Mark. Looking forward to seeing full draw and unbraced.   :thumbsup:

I will bring it to the Classic
I found out this morning from James the bow needs to be 1-1/8” wide.
That’s why its heavy  :knothead:
