I doubt you would notice any improvement by adding extra lams. I'd give Craig a call or send him an email. He will steer you in the right direction.

I'm no expert by any means, but fewer lams means less glue, which in turn means lighter limbs. So, in theory, the limbs can recover faster. This is why some like the 3-lam Tembo over the 4-lam Big 5.  It's all subject to debate and your mileage may vary. 

Happy shooting! 

I agree with what EV said, I have shot many different lams of Hill bows and think 3 is about perfect to me.

Really enjoying this Tembo.

Tembo in its element!  Very nice.  I hope you're having better luck chasing thunder chickens up in Erie than I am here in Hershey. 

Nope. Lol. Been getting slower and slower each week around here. Down in the mountains opening week was really good but up here not so much.

Hey guys, I am wondering how many on here have shot an elk with a ASL or know someone who has. Poundage, draw length  and broadhead choice also. I am using my 59 pound American Styk this year with a 560 grain Surewood Shaft at a 28 inch draw.
Thanks!

Just a neat pic I took yesterday.

Those arrows turned out great.  Nice pictures.  You're making me want to get a Cheetah.

Good looking arrows Tim!  Something about a Tembo eh?

Nice outfit Tim,  Impressed with the Cheetah.

Got a text from Dave Schulz today

Very nice...... post pics when she arrives!!!!

Here is my 68" 45# tembo.  Osage riser, green glass limbs and Buffalo horn tips. 

Here's the finished product. It's an American LongBow Whitetail. Two yew lams sandwiching a bamboo lam. The bow was built in 2009 by Steve Schulz.  Dave Schulz was kind enough to refinish it for me.  Pictured behind the bow is a deer shot by John Schulz in the 1970's!

Great looking bows guys!

Evan, that's a good looking bow.

Beautiful riser on it Evan.

Just joined the ASL club with my first Northern Mist. Here she is—





A Mist Classic two piece in cherry, clear glass belly, brown glass back. 68", 52# @ 29". I wanted an all-American bow and I wanted an homage to a backed selfbow, and Steve built one that is perfect.















I've used the inner-tube over the leather grip trick just to keep it clean, plus it is quite a bit grippier than the leather.

I'm hooked, and I've already got two new ASLs on order. Nothing beats the clean look of an ASL at brace. They are just perfect.

Welcome to the club.  Looks like you got bit hard.  That's a great looking bow.

Yeah, I'm bit. I have a 64" Whip by Dan Toelke that I still love, but I think all my new bows will be ASLs from here on out.

I'm curious if anyone of you have experience with all three of Steve's reverse handle bows? I've got a Sprague on order, but I'm considering changing to a Ramer or Whisper. Anyone shot all three and want to comment on them? Which would you prefer of the three? I've also got a Shelton on order, which will be a sister to this Classic, except an homage to English bows.

A year seems so long to wait...
