I've never been a fan of Bingham's designs but, Brother, you did that on PROUD!
Excellent work and wood choice. Shoot it with pride. I would.

Love those lams!!! Great job on that one. How does it shoot with the mods you made to it?

Robertfishes · August 25, 2011, 06:33:00 AM

Trux I havn't shot it alot but the power lam really stiffens up the limb, I do have to shoot a stiffer arrow over the other 53# non PL bow I built 2 years ago. I have not shot these bows thru a chrono but cast seems good..I used to have a few Black Widows and cast is similar?? the Binghams chart shows that a .250 stack should come in arround 45 lbs, this one with 21 1/2" riser and the 29" PL came in at 54 lbs. other specs are .690 inch limb tip width and limb width taper starts at the end of fades 1.73" to 11/16" wide at string nock.

thanks for the kind words, I am still on a learning curve..I am building Helen another "KennyM" 64" R/D longbow, she wanted more mass weight so this one has 24 pieces of glass in the riser. Kenny sent me some nice amberboo tapers and parallels,040 UL glass and glue that are going into the limbs. veneers will be thin stripe zebrawood cut out of this piece thats 7" wide and 80"long.

kennym · August 26, 2011, 07:55:00 PM

24pcs! Wow! That should stiffen it up, could we get a comparison on how it shoots and performance of the other one?
Thanks!
