Okay gonna quite hoggin Kennys thread. And hope this thing works out. Us retired guys need something to do

Anyhow this limb is real close to another design I got with some tweaks. Moved the string grooves further up the hook and gonna try the super lam on the first one. Took a swag at the stack. WE will see. Maybe get one glued Mon.

Going with the one on the left.

The hol down

I like your idea of the working curve watching this one with great interest , are you going to use the standard supper lam & .001 taper total ?

Crooked Stic · November 18, 2018, 06:46:41 AM

Mine has .001 taper. Does standard have no taper?

kennym · November 18, 2018, 11:00:45 AM

Superlam is a .001 taper plus wedges....

I should have said is the supper lam your only taper in the stack ,I just meant I didn't know if you decided on no taper or .001

Did the dry run today and got one under pressure right now. I used zip ties to hold everything in place. Got about half pressure and cut and pulled the ties. Things stayed put well. We will see tomorrow. Dont know about the stack. rather it be 40 than 60

I like that riser hold down.

I think I'm gonna incorporate that into my band forms instead of clamps.

Well mike if it ends up 60# i know of someone who is local that you could send it to for testing lol

Went out to turn the heat on and went ahead and pulled it out. May be a light weight.

Roy from Pa · November 20, 2018, 07:34:26 AM

Us 70 year old geezers need lightweight bows..

Shredd · November 20, 2018, 08:25:54 AM

Good Luck with your new design... Looking forward to see what it looks like strung up...

Forwardhandle · November 20, 2018, 10:49:34 AM

Better light then heavy ! Looking forward to the brace profile !

Crooked Stic · November 20, 2018, 11:29:24 AM

Got it cleaned up and blanked out. Got lucky the tiller with the blocks is even. Maybe make 30@28. Yeah Roy was hopin for 40 or 45. Front overlays curing now. The brace in the pics is a little over 8 in. dont think it will need that much.

Forwardhandle · November 20, 2018, 12:07:26 PM

Im liking it looks real good ![attachment=1]

Roy from Pa · November 20, 2018, 12:34:18 PM

Back it with sinew.

That will bump up the weight.

Crooked Stic · November 20, 2018, 02:23:20 PM

Good one Roy. I guess looking at the pics you can see where the power lam part of the taper ends pretty good. Gonna be interesting to see how this one shoots. May just be feathers up in smoke---then I wont need the sinew

Roy from Pa · November 21, 2018, 05:07:58 AM

Video the maiden voyage....
