Not much time for bow work this week end but did sum ruff sketching on on handle belly overlays going to ruff it out and shoot it in mark and carve as I shoot doing more of a 1911 type handle & got my camo action wood for the 68 R/D doing a simple hunting riser none footed ![attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3]

Just a slang for a grip similar to a 1911 pistol !

Oh ya, I should have known that. It's a pretty popular pistol.

This will be the first year using these but I like them because I also got the practice heads for shooting and tuning with out messing up your broad heads there built like little tanks !

Just read through these post.  Waiting to see the performance report!  Looking good.  How long are the tip wedges Ritchie?
Life is too short to use marginal bow wood

You use those on your tri lams Roy? 
I always assumed the 3 blades would increase the resistance too much.

Thanks fellas, Ben if I remember right I think those wedge portion of the supper lam is around 8 in. I will measure it when I get back in town , things are going slow on finishing this one between end of season work and getting ready for hunting but I will test it as soon as I can ,I will adjust the arrow weight for a good comparason with the lighter draw weight but Im pretty anxious to get this one shooting !

Ben the best I can tell the wedge in the supper lam is between 7-8 in. maybe if I get time I will measure the one I have for the 68 in. Its hard to measure after glue up I got some time to get the belly overlays cut and flash light fit to the bow maybe get it more tweake and glued up tomorrow ! [attachment=1]

Got ahead of the curve this week end glued up before the sun even comes up...lol one thing I like about Kennys design is the handle overlay is non structural so you can do what ever you want !
