pics of tips of your bows

<< < (2/2)

Jesse:
I like this one I made but the next will be more pointy   :)

medicinewheel:
As Eric says 1/2" is too much, would be good enough for 80#.
Some of mine, all of them VERY narrow:

jp gray:
thanks for the pics ,my tips dont have any overlays,do i need to cut a groove on back of the bow for the string ,

Hillbilly:
Never cut a groove in the bow back unless you have overlays on-it's violating the grain and creating a weak spot. That is one of the main reasons for using tip overlays-to allow you to make the tips narrower than you could without that back groove to hold the string.

Thwackaddict:
JP mine are 3/16 wide and 1/4 long,my bow is 60# and shoots great,no shock!
