Looking great.

[Shredd]

Looks like yah got a winner...    Do you like how she shoots??

[kennym]

Bends nice!!

Now a riser that was scrapped for some reason , recut the pad angles to give the limbs more preload . Note the plastic wrap , the pin didn't quite line the limb up right so I draped the plastic over pin and put a couple drops of CA in the hole on limb . Bolted up and lined up limb. Figured I'd have a one piece but worked slick. Came right off and the plastic left just right amount of room to get limb slipped back on...

Handles very nice. Very stable and quiet.
Seems fairly quick, but that may just be new bow syndrome. 

Might get the chrony out tomorrow and see what the numbers are.
Hopefully I can get my buddy to bring the prototype over to see if the changes I made improved the bow any b

Made myself a new toy.
Kept it pure an simple.
Micarta Riser, Carbon limbs with Ash cores.
Nothing else.

[Mad Max]

who's carbon are you using?

[Roy from Pa]

Bends nice!!

No kidding That looks really well proportioned, riser to limb length. Some 3 piece bows look stumpy, with massive risers and stubby limbs.

Mine! I paid for IT.

It's from China. On Belly, i use IT Just Up to 40#.
Bows 40#+ i build with Carbon Back and Glass at the Belly.

Nice clean look bj

Alright.....for you tech/spec guys. 
Bow is 50.5# @ 28"
62" bow with 14" riser. Fade to fade is 24". String grooves are 1-7/8" ahead of back of bow.

With 10gpp arrow I'm getting around 176fps. (With silencers, finger release and B55 string)
My 600gr hunting arrows fly nice and quiet and still hit about 168fps.

Not my fastest build. But probably the nicest shooting.

Goofing around with G-10 like materials. I like how some composites, like carbon have a lot of depth to look at. So I decided to try to get a more 3-D effect by substituting fiberglass window screening for cloth and placing layers of of very thin polyester fabric liner between every third layer. The polyester goes translucent when wet out, unlike glass which goes clear. Topping that of with eight layers of .001" fiberglass cloth.

Respectable performance, Bvas...  Good job...

Kenny your giving away all your secrets... 

  Flem, why window screening instead of just plain glass??

Shredd, most G-10 is plain glass with colored epoxy, which makes an opaque composite. I'm thinking clear epoxy coupled with the screen thats been vinyl coated black and because of the open mesh lets light thru, could have depth enhancing effect.
I say could, because I really have no idea if it will have the desired effect I'm looking for.. But hey, if you get an idea, might as well go for it!
