I got me a 1/4 round file to get that groove wider.

That scares the heck out of me seeing that.

Is the limb tip built up in someway on top for added strength?

I file all my curve string grooves with no problems. I also use 1/4" file. You want the groove to be a little wider than the string. I even round the edges some with sandpaper. I make one static curve with big hooks like this. They are hard to get straight. But sure shoot fast when you get them right.

Roy I have a brand new Bear curve the belly groove is filed thru the glass. Not something I do tho. And built up tip overlays on the front.

I haven't put any overlays or underlays on yet, don't wanna add weight to limb. It has .043 green uls on both sides so should be good. Will put tip overlays on as usual but no belly underlays.

It's all fun and games til she blows up...

Tips need to unroll more...

Work in progress ...

kennym · April 17, 2021, 01:08:32 PM

Still 3/4" wide at nock so if I narrow it down to 1/2 it may unroll a bit more

Roy from Pa · April 17, 2021, 01:10:33 PM

Yup, prolly will....

Everything else looks good though. What taper did you use?

Longcruise · April 17, 2021, 01:42:13 PM

Just call it a static and yer good.

Longcruise · April 17, 2021, 01:43:11 PM

Did you use a tip wedge?

kennym · April 17, 2021, 01:54:47 PM

1.5" limb width
Stack .260
Taper -.001
Tip wedge-yes and power lam (superlam)
Hopin for 45 and its 57 right now but seems to pull kinda easy (new bow syndrome most likely)

Still returning to grooves when you let down and limbs look good for straight
1/16" pos now

Last pic was before narrowing tips, not much change. Thinkin about tapering farther from tips...

Mad Max · April 17, 2021, 05:12:51 PM

Get rid of those wedges on the next one

I'd go to a .003 taper too but as much stuff as I've screwed up lately I'm not sure I'd listen to my opinion!

Roy from Pa · April 17, 2021, 05:51:45 PM

LOL on pictures, I don't even know where to start editing, so I hain't...
