Another glass bow

(1/2) > >>

Kegan:
Check this one out. I posted my first hybrid a month or two ago, but there were points that needed work. Well, I think I fixed them. This is the proto type for the limb design, actually everything except the handle will be laminated and have a more locator style instead of straight/angle. Oh, and the shelf will be deeper. It's off center so my arrows aren't too weak!

It's 66" long made with maple laminations. This one came out a little heavy at 71# at 28", 75# at my draw. Shoots hard and fast- with both 700 gr and 600 gr arrows, and with little to no handshock. Very stable- I was pleasently suprised with that one. I'm thinking I'll give this one a good go during hunting season while I finish work on my self and sinew backed flatbows ;).

Seriously, nice job.

 Good looking bow, Kegan, too stout for me.

jonathan creason:
Really like that profile.  Good looking bow, Kegan.

FlintWalker:
Get the outer limbs opening up just a little more and I'll call you with my order ;)
 Really...it looks great!  I bet it does shoot good.
