Title: stackup for takedown ??
Post by: matts2 on August 29, 2011, 06:59:00 PM
I am getting ready to build some limbs for a 3 piece takedown and curious on stackup compared to a longbow.  I have a book with all my previous longbow builds and can hit my weight for a longbow based off my past builds.  I am wondering how much of a difference I will have if I use the same stack on takedown limbs.

According to Binghams charts, the same stack will be heavier (#5)for a D shaped bow, and very heavy for a R/D shaped bow (#70+).

Just for a reference check out their chart on their web page.

Good luck good hunting
