The nodes at the fades won't be a problem.

Looks like your pushing that one to the limit, Ritchie!

Lol yep I can make 28" for sure beyond that will see Laubin made some 52" @26" 65lb so at 45 lb I got a shot at it I think ? Really no pratical purpose for this bow other then challenging build for me !

You know the drill Ritchie, only one way to find out!!

No truer statement then that Kenny might put that on my tombstone 

 

You are one for pushing the envelope, Ritchie!.Looking good so far.

Thanks one thing I  always like about TG is not many NA Sayers  around here no body tells you your out of your mind for even trying...lol

I don't get it,  your out of your mind for even trying.

Being mindless, i never have to worry about it. 

Im just saying some sights if you want to exsperment with some thing different all the Na sayers come out of the wood work ,here you guys let you fall on your butt first before laughing 

I just love a good fall...   But not this time...  Good luck Buddy...

Hey, we would never get anywhere if we kept listening to the old farts set in their ways...  Granted that they do know a good bit of what is going on...

Hey!  Not all of us Old Farts are set in our ways.

Today I layed up another kid R/D.  This one for another granddaughter.

Hmmmm,  hard question to answer.   It's sure to offend somebody. 

I'm 73 and don't think of myself as old.  Just don't think about it at all.  When I look in a mirror it sorta shocks me.

Woosh good deal Im 10 years younger then you 

Wish I could bend my left knee like you in your avatar. 

Damn...  So it's been you guys I been talking about??   Where are all the hot chicks on here??  I joined this forum hoping to meet a hot chickie with a common interest and maybe check out some of her DFC;'s...

Some of us are in in a state of arrested development. Personally I never matured past about 24.
If only my body followed suit
To anybody under 40, we are all Geezers!
