Hackberry Hammer II tiller check
« on: April 04, 2010, 01:27:25 pm »
I am really pleased with this little bow thus far. It shoots nice and fast. Appears to be bending nicely as well. Open for feedback on tiller. I've got a video shooting it if I can figure out how to get an imovie to show up.

Looks very nice.  Hackberry is so much fun to work.  Where will the weight be?

Jimmy...what doe the Unstrung Bow look like? Is it a D/R design? If it is a Straight Long Bow...I would see about getting a little more Limb bending from mid-limb towards the last 4-6 inches from the Tips...JMO....I think it really looks nice...I too like Hackberry...when I can find any around here worthy of making a Bow from.... ;D

Looking good to me Jimmy, I agree with EL D a little more bend in the outer limb.

I put it on the form and heated the belly. The first time one limb held the form and the other didn't so I did it again and this time I've got just a little reflex in the tips but not too much. I thinned out the tips today and cut the shelf in a little deeper. This bow shoots great. I shot it a lot today. I plan to have it ready to shoot in the Classic and massacre squirrels during the summer season. ;-)

Looks real good Jimmy. Nice 40 yrd shot in the video. I would be lucky to hit the target at that range :)
