It's no use, I believe us Parkers were cursed long ago when one of our ancestors offended the wrong person back in whatever country it was that they kicked us out of when we came here (maybe Merlin hired our 14-times-great-grandpappy to build a hick-backed cherry bow for King Arthur :) )
We don't have much luck, but damn, we're good looking ;D
Justin Snyder:
Hillbilly, If you are going to break bows, you might as well look good doing it. :-* Justin
Minuteman:
Do ya'll think 2" difference in the limbs is too much? Should I shorten the upper limb ?
Whats the normal difference in limb length for a non symmetrical bow?
Chris
Minuteman:
Worked on the outer thirds this mornin'. Upper limb will be on right from now on to avoid confusion.
Got them both bending a little more, to about 6 1/2" of brace height if it were braced, ~40 # roughly. The upper limb started to develop a lil hinge about 8 or 10 inches from the tip but I think I got it stopped soon enough. I removed wood from the whole lower limb and some from either side of the hingey area.
Whattya think...
