250 pounder attempt
RyanY:
Fo shiz adb. The bow I'm drawing in the pic is the very same I made that video of me drawing. Still around 105#@32". The bow Jim made me is the one I don't get back all the way.
adb:
Hey, Jim... it's been nearly a month... are you still workng on this project, or has it been shelved? I think many of us would still like to see your first attempt at full draw on the tiller tree.

Ryan, Thats awesome, good work. ! I am sending the 225 bow to Marlon. I just got the fast flighth string he suggested for the Big beast, Marlon suggested using fastflight because it has far less string stretch. that was one consideration I had not thought of.
No the project is not scrapped. Its too much fun. After the 225 pounder was built I now know this can easily be done with a thicker piece. The next staves are made from Ipe and so the same thicknesses and widths will yield a higher draw weight. I have glued up 3 more staves for it as well as one more bamboo hickory. I work full time plus some and cannot work on it every day or even every week for that matter.
adb:
Can you send some pics of the 225# bow at full draw on your tiller tree?
adb:
Hey, Jim... I'm a bit disappointed you're not willing to post some pics of this bow. Until that time, I remain slightly sceptical.
