kelly the design is a Mollegabet from Russia i think. its design is similar but more extreme than the holmie.workin limb v/s lever ,we've done some expirements with these and equal lever to workin limb ratios are optimum. this one was one of those expirements . i emailed the owner shhould have a full draw soon

That's a sweet looking stick. I wouldn't mind building one or two of those. Do you build these bows from staves or board stock?

Very nice...

Much Aloha...  :archer2:

Stiks i use boards i milled.
thanks Rattus i have to admit the guy holding the full draw shot was the one that stirred the fire on this design.its is one of the most efficient designs next to the semi pyramid

These Molles are very intrigueing and you did a jam up job on this one, Ken. Isn't sending a Molle to Rich like sending coal to New Castle!  d;^)

Ken75  I for one would like to see a build along on one of these. How much hand shock do you get with all that static limb.
Kelly
Title: Re: newbe introduction,full draw added with new owner
Post by: Ken75 on December 29, 2010, 10:09:00 AM
bettle he loves it
Pat ive sent him four bows and with him being one of my best mentors ive always been a little nervious but he loves everyone of them.besides everyone needs another molle !!
kelly contrary to common sense there is no hand shock if the levers are small these on this bow are 1/2 at the widest to 1/4 inch at the tip and same as far as thickness. its a sweet release and great shooting bow. this one was an expirement with lever length and working limb .levers started at 16inches and then were cut down to 10 inches to match the workin limb. ill do a build along when i come off midnight shift next week
