Hi.. I'm stuck on how to reduce bow weight on one piece recurve ( Binghams alternate riser)design. :knothead:
Now it is around 60# at 18"... way to stong... riser is 24" long... and 22" limbs... I don't want to make limbs more narrow than they are now... what do you suggest? is there any other way? sanding limbs ( fiberglass )?
thx :notworthy:
Sanding the glass will work but it is a slow process.
You'll want to keep track of sanding strokes to keep it even.
Yes.. it will be very long process... but last think that I want to do is sanding fglass... I found that trapping the back of bow will reduce weight... I'll try that.. thx
It sounds like you need a lot removed. I know you don't want to reduce the width but just trapping on a recurve may not do it.
60# @18" is probably going to end up 100# @28" ....
