New project bow "full draw photos added"!

Apex Predator · February 11, 2009, 09:24:00 AM

This is one I'm building for a buddy named Martin. She has red elm core lams and a laminated riser out of bloodwood and bubinga. The riser and tips will darken nicely after finishing. She is a real screamer, due to the thin tips and trapping of the outer limbs. She will draw around 59@28 when finished.

She looks like she is going to be a good one. I love the narrow tips and know how much they can add to the performance.
Another nice one, Apex.

Looks great Marty! Really like that profile!Seems the fastest ones are the ones that come in heavy and ya have to tweak all the weight off that you can!!

That is one fine looking bow even in the raw!! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Sweet bow! What's the ntn length?

Apex Predator · February 12, 2009, 05:26:00 AM

She is 66" ntn.

This one turned out nice and is a real hot rod! She is a 66" mild R/D which draws 61@28. I still have to apply the white zebra stripe limbstations on the limbs. Martin wants to help with that part.

Nice bow!

Just out of curiosity about how long did it take you to build that bow?

Apex Predator · February 14, 2009, 11:23:00 AM

A couple of weeks. Probably 20 hours total.

Great Work Marty. Another beauty

Steve J · February 14, 2009, 12:09:00 PM

I love those thin tips! Nice bow!

Pat B · February 14, 2009, 12:53:00 PM

She came out real nice Marty.

Carbon Caster · February 14, 2009, 02:08:00 PM

That is a beauty. That is sacrilege putting those stickers on "THAT" bow!! LOL!!!

StickBender55 · February 15, 2009, 09:14:00 PM

That is some great work Marty. Very appealing choice of woods.
