Better take ya a nap, so you can work tonight! 

 

A little snaggle , with my drill jig the limbs didn't line up so good so I drilled pin holes to 5/16" for the 1/4" pins . Put a pc of Saran Wrap over the pin on riser and as close to bolt as possible. Waxed the glass around the pin hole , slapped as much Ea 40 in hole as I figured it would take to fill around pin and put limbs on . Adjusted to center limbs over riser center and limb bolts and letting it set up. Hope it's still a three piece ...

We have a saying. It's not a f*#k up if ya can fix it.

Hope it works out for you.

Good idea. Hope you still have a three piece.

Hmm shoulda drilled all the way thru the limb and went to fastenal and got some 5/16 Dowell then overlay the limb. 

I reckon I could have but I don't care for overlays on limbs on a TD ...

Well phoey 

LOL that's just me

Limbs came right off! All good.  Now to shape on em a bit...

Finally got to work on her some more. 

Limbs mounted

Riser roughed in

Had to shoot it, seemed pretty good so I checked speed just for giggles.

47@28

Spare string off my hunting bow, one set of wool puffs, 2 tied on string nocks.

523 grain  (11.12 gpp)  176 FPS

519 grain (11.04 gpp)   179 FPS

472 grain (10.06 gpp)   184 FPS

423 grain (9.00 gpp)    192 FPS

This was off a shooter, so prob deduct 4-5 for fingers

I'll take it tho!! 

Nice...  Great speed...  I find it tough to get past that 184 mark with an R/D bow...

And deduct another 2-3 for a tight nock...
And another 2-4 for wrong spine...
And another 2-4 for bad form...
And another 1-2 just because...

That brings you down to about 167 to 169 FPS...
That bow sounds a little slow to me... You better start over...   

   You better off just saying that you used a shooting machine and leave it at that...   

Okay now unstrung strung and FD pics.
That 10 gen. Speed pretty good.

Or maybe...

And add another 2-3 for a properly fitted nock...
And add another 2-4 for right spine...
And add another 2-4 for my precise form...
And add another 1-2 just because...



These arrows weren't tuned at all, just stuff I had to get weight close.

Mike I'll shoot some pics tomorrow . Maybe even a full draw...

Oh, I'll be hunting with the 11+ grain ones, so I'm not too concerned with the speed anyway...

Now to shoot her for a bit and be sure the grip suits me completely before I
paint her...
