Kenny's trash barrel is full of great treasures! It is one of my favorite place to dig around!

That'd be a looong drive for me to go dumpster diving

Actually not a trash barrel, just stuff that can't be easily used and yet I can't throw it in a real trash barrel!

So it's the......I may use that some day barrel.

Scrap barrel!!!

A lot of it will only make one pair of lams, and I rarely get calls for a single side of a bow. The walnut I had thrown in there because it was a decent pair, and then decided to split them and if it didn't work, burn em.

I think they made around .020 with some saw marks on the edge on the back of one.

I'm sure it's going to make a great looking bow when you are done!

So does someone have to buy it in order to see it finished?

kennym · July 25, 2018, 05:43:53 PM

LOL, no but it has been on the back burner for a bit. You know, MOJAM and getting caught up on the yardwork and stuff.

Carpdaddy · July 26, 2018, 09:06:59 AM

Send it to me, I'll finish it, and send pictures back to you!

A little more testing, pulled 44.51@28 so to check the gain on a 2" pike , I filed nocks for 58" in. That brought it to 51.66 which is about what I expected. A bit more gain than the other d/r bows for a 2" pike.

Looks great Kenny! Your Kung Fu is strong!

stickmonkey · August 12, 2018, 09:19:14 PM

I like it! Do you have an FD curve on it somewhere already Kenny?

kennym · August 12, 2018, 09:40:04 PM

Thanks Craig and Shane!!

LOL,I do have a FDC somewhere and will try to find it but I was hoping to cut it to 58 with good results and it didn't draw as far as I hoped....

Will try to find and post the 60" DFC..
