Title: 58" R/D
Post by: Trux Turning on July 27, 2014, 12:14:00 PM
A few weeks ago I put together the form for this bow. I got the plans awhile back fron Kenny (thanks Bud)- it still needs a little sanding and some finish. It came out 45@28" - it has a tiger wood riser, the thumb rest is from a piece of the riser mosaic cut off.

Another beauty, Trux. Similar to mine but shorter.
I shot my "TRUX" bow last weekend with some carbon arrows someone gave me. She screamed those carbons.

Good looking bow Dave!! I have a soft spot for the shorter bows.  What brace height does it like?

That's beautiful!  So it doesn't stack at all at 28"?

Kenny- I did the outline with a checkering tool- I still need more practice before I checker one vs stippling- lol
Jess I have it braced at 6.75"s right now but I haven't played with it much- it does shoot nice though.

Sam- no stacking up to 28"s, just a smooth 2lb gain. It starts to stack after 29".

Thanks! Soy- not the best picture of full draw but this is at 29"s. I hope to spray it this weekend if the weather permits.
