2020---->What did ya do today?

Shredd · September 22, 2020, 05:05:47 PM

thanks guys...

ztonz.... here is a pic of that design... your standard r/d bow... i don't post pics of the whole bow any more because most have seen it and it's nothing new...

bue... i thought it was purple and my girl at the time said it was not... so after a little discussion she said look, this is purple and she showed me a sample of the color... she was right...

so i called this color wine...

excuse my penmanship... my computer got issues and my capitols don't work so well...

That is a good design, I bet a speed in excess of 190 feet with 9 grains pr pound bow weight

Thanks Rich. Nice bend !

Don't mean to hijack your thread Shredd, but your bow and one of mine looks quite the same, I think.

skeaterbait · September 22, 2020, 06:08:59 PM

I dunno Bue, yours looks a lot more European.

Very nice guys.

Bvas · September 22, 2020, 06:47:32 PM

Nice looking bows guys.

I finally got a string on my first take down. Seems to be pretty quick and quiet. But may just be "new bow syndrome".

Purty nice...

Bvas · September 22, 2020, 07:10:09 PM

One thing I've noticed. After I assemble the bow....the first time I draw it back I hear a click, then it is good from there on out. Is this common?

I put a rubber/fiber gasket between riser and limbs and put wax on pins.

1st one Bvas

That bow certainly is bending good. I been using potty ring wax between the pads and limbs and on the pins.
Always use a new one

or it smells like hiney ho.

Nice one Bvas. I like the bend. What taper are you using?

Buemaker · September 23, 2020, 02:06:14 PM

Bvas, bow looks great.

Bvas · September 23, 2020, 02:29:21 PM

Thanks fellas.

Z-The bow has .003 taper, but has wider tips (9/16" at grooves) than normal for me.

Built a new target stand today. Just have a few holes to drill for my 3D woodchuck and skunk.

Nice.

Do you have a fetish for skunks?

skeaterbait · October 02, 2020, 06:27:02 AM

I put together my bday present from Mrs., Limb profiling just got a little easier. I have an oscillating spindle/belt sander that I have always used and could never keep a straight line on it. This should help.

Now, if I could just find some time to build a bow again.

Nice, yer gonna love that Lonnie.

I have the same thing but with the longer table.

But it does like to eat fingers and knuckles right down to the bone:)
