Title: SycamoreAsh Mollegabet
Post by: kentowl on March 06, 2012, 04:41:00 PM
Just putting finishing touches on this 26oz 52#@28 mollegabet; white ash-backed sycamore with zapote power wedge. Narrowed tips and added white walnut nocks since photos taken, now getting 165+fps on 10gpp arrows. Set seems minor after 300 shots, keeping straight to a slight reflex. Learning to shoot off the knuckle is more fun than I expected, but I had to make a finger guard or go back to a rest.
