Title: New design just finished...
Post by: chackworth3 on July 13, 2013, 10:24:00 PM
This one is the first off the form.  I started at 56" with it but piked it to 54" to get it up to 49@28.  It is Yew riser with a Honduras Rosewood I-beam and black glass accents and yew veneers and core with a .003 taper.  Very smooth and fast.

Doggone shelf is on the wrong side   :D  Other than that it looks darn good.

Very nice short bow.  The full draw is great.

That's a good design. I'd love to see a FD curve on that one. It maintains a good string angle at full draw. Not easy to do with a 54" LB.

Looks great Chris!!  Any thoughts on the yew ?

Better than other lams? Not?

Thanks Kenny. I really like the yew. It's the first time I've used it in a riser and as a core. It's easy to work with and the limbs are super smooth and seem to be just as fast or faster than any I've used before.  Shoots some darts!  I am a big fan so far!

Yep. I feel sorry for any 4 legged walking in downrange of that. That bow looks nasty fast! Nice!
