2023 Bow Swap Progress Thread - Complete

Mike, I didn't mean there was anything wrong with your draw cycle, it's just different than what I build. Mine have a lot more preload on the limbs so there's a lot more poundage at the beginning of the draw. Yours feels smoother actually all the way thru. I can post pics side by side, they are totally different designs and they both work well at my draw.

Thanks

Did not think of it as anything wrong. Now what yousay probably is due to no taper. Glad you like it

I shot my poor victims bow more today, cut off the rubber silencers and put yarn on. Looks so much better...to me anyway...

Probably ship first of week...

I need to read the rules but I didn't think we were holding up for anything?

I need to get a rest and the string finished on mine so I can get it shipped. Might try to get it done today

Figured I better get after it . I guess I'll ship this one and not build a different one. Although I'd like to keep this one , it's a little light for me.

Repurposing a box that a trade bow got shipped to me in ...

I am cutting it down a couple inches thinner and a few shorter due to shipping these days ...

Also for the victim , I didn't tighten up the tie on nock points , after tuning he can pull em tight and clip

Whoa Kenny, that brings back some memories!  I can't believe you still have that lol.  That was the first glass bow I ever built too.  Good times.
