Title: KenneyM design change
Post by: rockkiller on May 17, 2014, 12:24:00 PM
Can anyone tell me a ballpark figure on how many lbs will drop from changing from 1 1/2 at the fades to 1 1/4??Total stack is .325 and is 60" ntn.With 1 1/2" wide at the fades its supposed to come out to about 50#.
  I guess I could just try it and see what happens,but was just curious    :dunno:  

 Thanks for any information.

Rock, your total stack looks a little high for 50# to me. I agree with Roy, 8-10# reduction on the width.

Al, those usually make weight at 1 3/8, depending on the individual bowyer. You will probably need about 4-5 # added to go down to 1.25"

Again depending on exactly how you do things.

Keep good notes on each one and you will get dialed in!
