I just finished a BBO longbow. 64" NTN,50# with slightly flipped tips and my question is this. The boo was 1/8" thick at the thickest and the osage has coome out at about 1/2" - 3/8" thick. Am I in trouble? Is the osage too thin?
I think you're fine. I assume we're talking 28" draw?
64" osage bow is not pushing the boundaries of the material at 50# I dont think. You should be fine.
As with any wood bow, check the bow frequently and carefully especially at the beginning.
Pipedream,
Don't tease us with post like this. Pics man Pics. Let's have them. We want to see it. :bigsmyl:
BBO specs are perfect.
Well I have put about 200 arroes thru it and so far so good. I haven't pulled it past about 24" as I shoot it in but it is sending a arrow with force.
Don't worry about the thickness if the bow is bending well and at the draw weight you are aiming for.
