2019 what did ya do today....

Hmmm, can we now be absolutely certain there is no flat spot? 

[Shredd]

    Maybe I should look harder...  Some of these guys could be right...      Well it was entertaining... Didn't get chit done today...  Got the bow boxed up and ready to ship though...

Shredd, thought you had a Bill Stewart Multicam thing going there. 😆
You got some good numbers there but don't get too hung up
on pushing the envelope. I think you are getting close to maxing out your design.
Excellent R/D my friend, you should be proud. Looking forward to seeing you go further with your designs. Gary

[Shredd]

Thanks Gary...  Appreciate it...  I am winding up my designs as far as I can take them...  But only if they are stable...  As far as other qualities like quietness and such I can either adjust for that later or make another design...  I know a lot more now than I knew 3yrs. ago...  And I am still learning...

   Checked out that Bill Stewart bow...     Not sure that I am a fan of that design...

I was only joking in my last post and I cannot see any flat spot. Delivering 193 feet you have an excellent bow. It would be interesting to se the speed with 9 grains pr pound draw weight. That is how Blackie tests. A Black Widow PAX recurve tested at 194 feet. A Predator Classic recurve tested at 198 feet.
A Black Widow PLX hybrid tested at 190 feet.
Blackie always use two speed testers set up in a tandem configuration to make sure he measures straight arrow flight.
Alongside the late Norbert Mullaney Blackie is considered the authority when it comes to bow testing. You can see some of his bow tests if you search for Blackies bow reports.

Well, i thought for sure there was a flat spot.   I'm going to put a flat spot in my RD.  Might get it over 189.

Bue...  47# shooting a 421gr. arrow at 202 fps...  Very close to 9gpp...  I'm gonna call my bow the White Widow...   

Seems that I lost 2 fps...  Not sure why...  I do know that one string is faster than the other by 2-3fps...  Maybe I used that string before...  It's like you gotta keep track of every damn thing to get anywhere...  Notes notes notes...  Never enough notes...  So sick of notes...  I need a glass of wine...

Well I was looking at this pic and not seeing the flat spot finally. Hmm say you lost a couple FPS ? Is that a crack in the end of the riser there? maybe thats it.

Roy...  I watched a classic video of your hero last night...

[Roy from Pa]

KennyM is my hero...

Whad he do?

[Shredd]

He's my hero too...      But I am talking about Ed Scott...

[Roy from Pa]

Yes I've seen that video also, many times.

[David Flanrey]

I've got limb #2 for a 64" three piece in the oven and drilled, tapped and glued inserts in the riser.  All I like now is finishing up!

[Crooked Stic]

I was lucky enough towun some stuff on anither forum I put it together. The riser is stable maple with ambrosia. A bit of black die. The myrtle are veneers and the yew is core. This bow seens really quickfor 56 in.
