LOL
Cool..

I got the 14" riser all fit up there where a few obstacles with doing it mainly the hump on the belly side of the riser due to fade changes so I ended up changeing the thickness to 1.093  I might add some glass footing to the belly overlay for security also ended up changing the stack order to get every thing to bend right around the riser , hopfully get this one glued up the next week end or two !

Ok here is the stats on the 60 in. 48.6 lb @31 in Im pulling this bow to full 31 in. due to riser design using the same arrow , I checked and rechecked the test to make sure these a real numbers this bow is topping 200s at my draw the highest as posted crazy ,but It will hit 195 fps all day with 550 grain arrow its hard to believe but thats for real ,Kenny said that the 64 in is the faster bow ,at the time I talk to him I had allready had 300 arrows threw it but didnt chrony then ,I took his word for it but it was hitting the back stop harder then the 64 in. Now I know why...lol  This shorter bow is a lot more sensitive to form & draw then the 64 in. But wicked fast !! [attachment=1,msg2801554][attachment=2,msg2801554]

Just looking at some older posts,  that is unreal ya hitting 208fps.  on that bow,  incredible stuff.

These bows are quick but keep in mind that's at 31" draw  I don't know or have a way to test them at 28"  that was the bow that got me hooked on the design , if you lighten the arrows with the 31" draw & lighter strings you can get some crazier numbers !

58" short riser in bondage and in the oven , hope to get it profiled in the next day or two !

Can you actually get that thing strapped down before the glue sets? 

Yep it takes me just under 1hr & thats with tripple checking every thing it goes pretty fast with straping when you get used to it every thing is locked in solid with the zip ties so all you have to worry about is keeping the hose centered  here is the cacoon oven

My guess is this one will go 32 in.no problem.

Well find out soon, I'm thinking of trying a 54" with .002 taper next if this riser works out Mike do you have a full draw & brace pic of your short riser bow ? Does your brace profile look like a coat hanger ?

Holy Mole' Ritchie!
I was looking back at the pic of the wood Bow and realized it's not braced. Thats some serious reflex. Sinew on that one?

Yea it had 1100 grains of elk sinew on that one Flem ,I got another osage one on the wall ruffed down and aging 3 years on the wall that keeps taking natural reflex I'm going to sinew it maybe in winter so many bows need built and not enough spare time ! I got a couple hickory & maple sinew bows that are nice shooters just don't shoot them much any more but fun to make !

So far every thing looks good on the experimental bow , even though this is going to be a camo paint I actualy like the clear glass over the maple , gives me ideas for the future dyed maple with clear glass no veneers ! Hoping to get this profiled & on the tree to check draw weight today or tomorrow !

That Maple looks nice! Bet the critters won't mind if you leave it natural. But that's coming from a guy who is biased toward the unadorned.
Looks like it has a honey/aged patina from here. Cant wait to see it shaped up.

Are you still using the .001 taper rate on the lams. My latest uses .004 and seems to work really well. I have had the 58 in. Out to 32 and pretty sure it has another inch left in it.

Flem thats exactly how it looks in real time well this one is getting ether a FW 190 or ME 109 WW2 camo job Black/Grey...lol Mike this one is .001 Im going to work down slow thinking .002 next but want to see how this profiles ! Im using left over materials for the test bows to refine Im hoping for a 40-45lb bow with this .030 glass eventualy want 54-56" @31 no stack ! Mike Im thinking the .002 to hold a little more reflex @31 rather then whiping over the tips all speculation only one way to know 😃

Well I decide on heding out to 9" before taper profile that should give me a minor taper on the last 2" of the PL part of the SL all guessing but I dont want to lose much draw weight going back in the inners I can alwas change it ! any thoughts ?

Go farther and string it , then adjust as needed

Had to look up those cams patterns. Interesting choice. You a modeler or maybe your tree stands are in the nose bleed zone?

Thanks Kenny ! Flem this one is a blind bow Im just kida a vintage airplane buff been a private pilot for 40 years I like the WW2 camo paterns !
