2021 what did you do today?

Roy from Pa · March 20, 2021, 06:18:04 PM

More like 80# and the wife helps me put it in the drying box.

Flem · March 20, 2021, 06:21:53 PM

I figured 50# was conservative looking at the beast.

Roy from Pa · March 20, 2021, 06:28:34 PM

I have done it myself, maybe that's why my back hurts:)

How the hell do you lift that thing Roy? It looks like it weighs 50#!! and its awkward

Chris one hands it for him, right Rody?

Roy from Pa · March 20, 2021, 06:45:02 PM

She gotta use both hands.

Shredd I have been thinking about the same thing. I will most likely not get to it before the end of summer. If I do I will let you know what I did.

Both hands

Built a new form for a new bow design I started working on last winter. Hopefully gonna be a static tip recurve that I plan on making work with longbow limbs as well. I'm hoping the hook isn't to sharp for the lams to bend into.

Mad Max · March 20, 2021, 10:15:47 PM

what is the radius 4 point?

4-1/2" radius

4 point · March 20, 2021, 10:28:46 PM

Max, I didn't calculate out the radius. It looks a little sharper than yours. Could be that mine has more reflex to them. I'll find out tomorrow, gonna try gluing one up. How much lam taper are you using in yours? Do you profile taper your limbs much?

Shredd · March 20, 2021, 10:59:09 PM

4Point... Good luck on your bow build...

Sounds good Ol' Rawhide... We'll compare notes...

Tanks Max...

Getting ready for some speed testing. Lining up square head shooting machine and two chronographs set up in a tandem confuguration. Hope nobody comes through the door.

Roy from Pa · March 21, 2021, 08:17:08 AM

Nice setup, Bue.

Buemaker · March 21, 2021, 08:25:24 AM

Indoor lightning on.

Mad Max · March 21, 2021, 08:54:05 AM

4 point .002-----just a normal width taper for recurves.
I use a 2" radius for static's but it will open up a tiny bit.

Nice setup Bue

Looking good Roy. Did you place the blocks who make deflex closer to the riser on this one?

Roy from Pa · March 21, 2021, 06:30:44 PM

Yes I did, on the swap bow they were 11.5" from bow center on this one they are 11" from bow center.

kennym · March 21, 2021, 06:32:45 PM
