some tips for tillering to 32inch with a 71inch bow??

(1/3) > >>

joren1993:
hi all,

I've never been able to tiller a bow to 32 inch myself, and now I wanna try it but my bow(it's just
a stave at the moment) is only 71inch long. Im going for 80#32.
its a ash backed elm bow and the measurements will be:
at the handle 30mm wide, 27mm thick
at the tips, 14mm wide and 13mm thick

will this work? and what do I need to look out when tillering such a short bow so far??

Hey Joren

I made a 95#@32" hazel bow, wich is only 72" ntn and 1 1/2" wide. Pretty happy how this one turned out; no crysals, only 1" of set.

but 71" overall (70"ntn), 30mm wide... Goodluck ;) It's probably possible with a perfect tiller.

joren1993:
yeh I must be pritty insane ha to try something like this :D
but nevertheless the bow is on the tiller right now(first stage loose string)
will post pictures maybe tomorrow otherwise it'll be sunday.

Ian.:
I would tiller it to 30" then slowly shoot in the last 2",
 it is possible but as nick said perfect tiller.

joren1993:
so ur saying not tiller the last 2 inches?? oke never heard of that one before
