Lets try it with bamboo.

More like 3/8ths, its kept almost half so even if it ends up flat I'm happy, no set. I think that was Pats intent on that lemon wood project.

Looks nice John - well done!

[John Malone]

Thanks, I figure a couple more and I can start selling them for $1500.

That's what your are after man.  A little bit of reflex or even flat makes for a snappy but smooth shooter.  Good job man.

How does it compare to your Lowes bought bows?
I bet you'll have to go to a stiffer arrow when you tune it.

Nice, Johnny...

Bmorv there is no comparison to my lowes bows. The only one that shoots this Fast and crisp is the Cherokee stave bow I made. Its 8 pounds heavier and has some set but if I concentrate on the grip its a damn good shooter. It gets great arrow flight with full length 400 spine and 150 grain zwickeys up front.
With the bbi ive got some full length 500s I'm gonna try and tune to it for small game.
Which reminds me ive got to start working on some wood shafts. I have a bunch of crape myrtles I'm fixing to trim and ive read those shoots can make great arrows.
