This is the bow from the original post that I hope to be shooting in the demo.

She looks good Bona. Can you post a braced and full draw pic?

Pat, I'm letting her rehydrate for another day or so then I hope to brace her up and see what she looks like.

It's not such a good picture but I wanted ya'll to see the reflex I put in.

I wish I could take better pictures.

That baby has a ton of reflex, looks like a hybrid.  

Be careful when you first brace it. With that much reflex it may try to rotate when being strung. Use a bow stringer and caution.

Well guys. She has three compression fractures on one limb.

Pat, I used a stringer and was being very careful but I guess not careful enough. She rotated on me anyway. I didn't see any damage from that but the belly fractures.

Well, live and learn!

I have a bow that's about 10 years old. Osage, that had taken a bad set. I don't shoot it anymore because it shoots so slow. Its a pretty cool looking character bow with a knot hole on one limb. Dare I try again and just enough to take out the set and maybe an inch or two of reflex?

I generally don't add more that 3" of reflex. Seems like more than that has diminishing returns. Adding a few inches and tempering the belly might help your old bow out. Its hard to say.
