BBO formula?

I dont think elm would stand the compression and would chrysal, happened to me i very similar bow. Boo makes a good belly, not an easy thing to tiller, would certainly take the compression. Hows the tiller now?

Havent put it on the tree yet, just got the handle glued on tonight. I remeasured it at the center line and it is 1 1/4. Not sure how I got that measurement so wrong... I looked at the glue up and there is one spot just after where the fade will be that is about 1 1/8". About 1/8" of the power lam is visible when viewed from the top.

I guess I'll have to trim that side of the handle a little to get rid of this problem then re-draw the angle from the fade to my outter mark on the tip for that side.

Ok, got it strung tonight and have it drawing about 40 @ 24". I cut the nocks in at 1.5" from the tips. Tip to tip it is 68" so it's 65" NTN.

Got pics but battery is now dead. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

My glue lines turned out good with the smoothon. The Kingwood still has its purple tint and really looks good with the osage.

Lookin good Jim, what draw weight are you striving for?

razorsharptokill · October 01, 2009, 10:45:00 AM

I'd be happy with 45 on this one. I've got room to pike it an inch. What do you think about the outer 2/3's, too stiff?

Dano · October 01, 2009, 11:06:00 AM

"What do you think about the outer 2/3's, too stiff?" Not too bad, kinda the nature of these bows.

razorsharptokill · October 08, 2009, 09:43:00 PM

Now I can't post pics at all. My yuku account won't let me upload pics now. The Kingwood looks awesome with the osage I glued the tip overlays on tonight. They are Kingwood also.

The handle is shaped and feels very good. I think this is going to be a nice bow for a new shooter. 40-45 lb?

razorsharptokill · October 12, 2009, 01:07:00 AM

Got the pic thing fixed. Here's a couple.

Okie 1 · October 12, 2009, 08:01:00 AM

Lookin good Jim.

razorsharptokill · October 17, 2009, 05:52:00 PM

Just shot it a bit. It draws 45 at 28". I have room to pike it. What do you think? Leave it?

Dano · October 17, 2009, 05:56:00 PM

I'd leave it, never hurts to have a light bow around, you may get old some day you know.

sticshooter · October 17, 2009, 06:43:00 PM

I already know I am going to like this bow. Love that handle shape.<><

razorsharptokill · October 17, 2009, 08:54:00 PM

It 68" long. How much weight would I gain by piking It? What are the down sides?

Dano · October 17, 2009, 09:09:00 PM

You'd gain 3 or 4 pounds per inch. At your draw I might take it to 66" and see how she shoots.

razorsharptokill · October 18, 2009, 04:16:00 PM

Ok sounds good.

razorsharptokill · December 01, 2009, 09:47:00 PM

Bow went to a 12 year old boy. I heard from his dad that he loves it.

Dano · December 01, 2009, 10:25:00 PM

COOL!!
