This is my first laminated bow so please be gentle.
I would love to hear any advice to use for my next.
For your first lam bow, it looks great.. ^5
great first effort!!
specs?--what taper?-riser length?
The riser is 18 inches. It has three parallels on the back @ .074 each, and one .090 .002 taper on the belly. The glass is .040. The bow is 64 inches NTN. Riser is ipe maple. The parallels are boo, and the taper is maple. Tips ate maple ipe.
The limbs are 1.350 at the fades tapering to .500 at the tips.
What is the typical(if their is one) brace height for a bow like this? I have it at about 7 inches.
All in all im happy with the bow. It shoots where I point it with very little hand shock, and is very quite. My next will be much better with more exotic woods, and clear glass.
I found making the form and lam grinder to be almost as much fun as the bow itself.
That's awesome for ANY effort! Great job!
