Bow for a buddy>>>------------> DONE

They get the superlam, a .001 taper with wedge built into both ends. The wedge is about 12" one each end to get out past the riser, and you cut part of it off on the tip end so this 58" has about 6.5" wedge in it and longer bows have more at tips

That will certainly be a goodlooking piece and a couple of good ideas, Kenny and Stic.

Ok , 2 lb over after trapping the back. Final sanding will get at least one of em so may be one over. It should make him happy.

Kenny you using finishing epoxy for grain filler? it works good but a B to sand.

kennym · January 19, 2020, 08:50:29 PM

Actually ea40 and acetone 50/50

Looking great Kenny! What numbers you get out of chrono on this one?

kennym · January 20, 2020, 09:36:53 AM

This one did 178 with a
531 grn arrow ,
49.14 lb at 28" draw
10.81 gpp .

I noticed the arrow tailed way right into the target, and hadn't finished the sight window, it will do better after I worked on that. (with that arrow anyway)

He draws 29" so that will help it too.

David Flanrey · January 20, 2020, 10:23:40 AM

That is pretty snappy! He will love it I bet.

kennym · January 20, 2020, 10:56:05 AM

Hope so! I kinda like it but don't wanna change from the TD ... LOL

Little late to the party on the trapping topic but my testing results are trapping the back has more effect than the belly. Trapping the back allowed me to lose between 5-10lbs (depending on the degree of trap) but not lose much if any performance so in essence made the bow a lot more efficient. So I made it part of my design. Overbuild the bow by 10 lbs, trap down to weight.

kennym · January 20, 2020, 04:19:34 PM

That's kinda my theory too but haven't tested it at all.
