Nice bow Max. You gonna shoot that shortie with a thumb release?

Pat B · « **Reply #61 on:** February 15, 2022, 11:02:13 AM »

That should be fairly easy to remedy; belt sander or side grinder.

Yes shoot with a thumb ring

Pat I have a 6”x80” edge sander

How did you put the string on it ?

Mad Max · « **Reply #69 on:** February 16, 2022, 11:27:08 AM »

With a recurve stringer

That's pretty manly, I would be using a peg board for that much reflex.

The side profile looks pretty awesome, I look forward to seeing the full draw pics and hearing how it shoots.

Mucho interesting.

Pretty cool Mark

Ditto wanting to see that shortie at full draw. A video of it being shot would be very cool too and one of the bow being braced would be fun too!

Tiller is even now
Needs a little tiller and round over all the wood and it will be finished.
Limbe are 1-1/8" wide now, the last 4" taper down to 5/8"
#37@28"

Riser is 1-1/2" thick in the center.

Mad Max · « **Reply #75 on:** February 16, 2022, 07:33:06 PM »

Just use a regular recurve stringer.
Hold the grip really good until the riser is above the tips when I string it. Easy

KenH · « **Reply #76 on:** February 16, 2022, 10:27:43 PM »

She's a beaut!

No shelf on that handle, right Max? Just shoot off the hand.

Pat B · « **Reply #77 on:** February 16, 2022, 10:48:35 PM »

Looks good, Mark. Have you shot it yet?

onetone · « **Reply #78 on:** February 16, 2022, 11:34:53 PM »

That is an impressive bow!

Thanks for sharing the how-to.
