Here she be... The grain pops more when in the sunlight... I wanted to have something with more grain in it but I had nothing like that fully dried... She is a hair below par for performance... I believe because I tweaked the hyper-lam...

Going back to old recipe like Bue...

Over all she came out nice without any real hiccups...

Nice Rch. Have you chronoed that design yet. That profile resembles a Centaur and we know they are fast.

Stic I think he said he got 160 fps out of it...

That's smoken for Florida bows....

That's because the arrow has to cut through all that sunshine and humid air...

Stic... I usually get 184 fps with is design and got as high as 186 - 187fps...

Good numbers.

Today I started tearing the form apart. I spotted a couple little waves in it when the light hit it just right. :(

Mad Max · April 02, 2021, 09:10:46 PM

NOT GOOD
Acrylic paint so it WILL come OFF.
I was trying to make it look like curly wood.
When I put the red on top of the light color it looks PINK

It would have looked good with the red on top of the black glass

I sprayed some finish where the red phenolic meets the paint, still no good
