I new sooner are later I was going to have to put the tip lams as a core.
SOONER :knothead:
that SUCKS!
1st pic had me interested though
Been there, done that. Keep on keep'n on. ;)
Lost count how many I broke.... :eek: Its a learning curve.
cant see mark- but did it break right where your spruce overlays ended- maybe then the insert cores- faded in nicely might help more
yep
been needing to do that anyway
now make another half- and you can build a two piece take down :D
Glue up issue Mark? Looks like it broke right at a joint.
Pearl
I think I squeezed the glue out
in some spot's it looks dry

Sweet!
That's a boatload of reflex. Bet it's fast ... And scary to string.
Very interested to keep seeing the evolution of see extreme static tip bows.
Nicely done cross-over between modern cutaway handle and ancient Manchu string-bridged design. Personally I'd like one without the modern "prosthetic" grip :deadhorse: ...
interresting nocks mate- but they would make me nervous- scared the string would fly off- totally unfounded though- just very different.
how did the cores work out for you. a little bit trickier to layup, but seems to work well
cheers
wayne
Looks really cool, bet its fun to shoot too.

The layup on these bow is hard to do
but i like the challenge
I made a R/D bow in 1/3 the time
awesome job man- looks great
looks like you have the hose on the back of the bow- looks like that worked great!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
what are the dimensions of that bow-
length when strung
length of statics
and angle of statics.
i found that the one i built was really stacking the last 2 inches of draw for my draw length- i am going to have to build a slightly longer bow now for my DL.

The string is 58" so close to that , the static's are 7-3/4" to the nock I wanted 8.
Un strung the angle is 12 degrees past vertical toward the grip.
The reflex is from the nock's to the back of the riser 8-3/4" 10-1/2" to the grip
The sheepeater bow should draw to 30"
what's your draw?
I don't like the hose on the back of the bow but I could not figure the riser with power lam.
This is the blank riser NO lams
I'am changing the riser, the belly stack is going threw the riser, then 1/4" stack of glass and wood plus more wood for the grip and sight window
It's like a take down riser and the limb butt wedges out past the riser. I think it will work

cool!!!
thats how i did my riser- did it first on a kenny m- and really liked it- and did it on the recurve too.- makes the layup quite easy- except for the extra work feathering in the stack on top of the glass- but its worth it i think.
wha's the chrony say mate??
rain rain rain rain
:biglaugh: :biglaugh:
i would be putting up a piece of ply 4" thick at the end of the hallway, and shootin' it inside :eek: :scared:
Ya skeered your gonna melt or sompen? :)
Mucho interesting. :) Bue--.
Did some shooting today
28# @ 28" 186 fps average, 289 grain arrow
also shot my 25# T/D static recurve at 182 fps average
The 2-1/2" more reflex did not do much, a lot more unstable
