Almost ready to roll, 1 question

[TrenchFoot]

Wooooooooo! I did it! Everyone that had good advice, thank you!

I’m not finished with it by any means but I put a string on it and it’s pulling 30-35 lbs max what’s the advice on bumping that up by 25-30 lbs? Thinking def .05 glass on the back, obviously increasing the lam thickness, but how much is the question.maybe parallel lams? Tip wedges? I’d hate shortening the limbs.

Sand that glass with 80 grit and put it back in the form with another layer of .040 glass. Or you could put carbon over it too.   How bout a photo on the tiller tree at brace and full draw?  love to see how she's bending.

Will when I get to that point, I just threw a string on it out of curiosity compared to an OLD bear 45# I have. I’m gonna keep this one at weight and my son can use it when it’s finished. Looking forward to the next stack at this point

Do you have the lam stack calculator spread sheet yet? If not , shoot me an email and I’ll send it to you. It’s pretty darn close .   Kirk

To big of a gap and your hose will roll sliding everything out of whack .I have a dozen forms and all were made with a 5/8 inch gap .
