Awesome Wayne   :clapper:  
I like the wood combo.   :)  

How far from center is the arrow shelf?
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

ok the chrono arrived- very nice little unit. many thanks Dan  
got some kind of chrono results, and i say some kind- cos i cant get to full #70 draw     :scared:    
i think i am getting to about #60 maybe #65.
anyway with a mismatched  530gn arrow- 200.9 fps - thats 8.15gn per#

out of my 50#  64" kenny M, with the same arrow
170.7
171.8
170.4
so  @ 530gn thats 10.6 gn per #
so how much of a difference would tip wedges and a powerlam help with the kenny m- just curious?

You some kind of speed freak, boy? LOL

Make yourself a boo, yew, osage tri lam and you will be a happy boy..   :)

:bigsmyl:  
never been one for testing my bows- but was very interesting to see!!
i understand that the tip wedges and the power lam will help with my very long draw- so curious to see how it would effect the speed on the kenny m.
one day when i'm big i will try and tiller one of those tri-lam musheeens!!    :notworthy:      :notworthy:

Well ifin ya need help making one of them tri-lam thing ah ma jigs, just ask. I've made a  few of them now. They average 180 to 190 fps..... They would blow the finish right off a Kennym bow...      :)         :wavey:

Very pretty looking curve!   :thumbsup:

Wow, 200 fps is smokin'!

You're almost there, too, Roy.  Just a little tweakin'.   :biglaugh:

They will blow yer fingers off too sometimes?   :laughing:

Wayne, the p/l & t/w will make 2-3 fps and a little better string angle best I can tell.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Came out looking nice!  Impressive numbers on the chrono too, nice job

thanks kenny- i have a really long draw- and i dont notice your design stacking- but maybe it would just be an improvement- reason to build another   :D  

thanks guys   :bigsmyl:   -well i was talking to Mark Daniel the other day- and he feels that i could get even more speed from it- by reducing the tip weight more. lose the phenolic underlays- go to a lighter mass wood underlay - and radically trap the back, in the static areas only.

and that was the plan, if it had come out at about #50, as i had planned- but at the #70 draw weight, the tips were just starting to flex- so hence the phenolic, and the lack of trapping.

but the next one planned for a #50 will have those changes.

sure is fun to play around with the chronograph, but i have never been one to focus too much on the speed- but it is neat to see- i do like that my kenny m is shooting a solid 170+ with hunting weight arrows   :thumbsup:
