Title: New 60" longbow
Post by: chackworth3 on July 31, 2014, 02:29:00 PM

Finally worked out the kinks in my 60". This one is 46@28(51@30) with bocote/deepwoods camo actionwood and deepwoods camo veneers with bocote overlays. Finally figured out the tip wedge/taper rate to keep the tips from being too flimsy... sorry no full draw pics. It is raining and I don't have anyone(my wife) willing to come out there and take a pic for me :D

Dude, you just keep cranking out one beautiful bow after another. I'm thinking we're going to have to get together before too long so I can shoot that new 'curve. :)
