Hybrid for the Holidays
Kegan:
Thanks Wayne :) I had it set to take off the red eyes, but it didn't work. Oh well, makes him look scarier :D
Kegan:
Just finished my good friend Art's Gray Wolf Hybrid. It's 35# and made with a single lamination in the limbs. It came out well but I'll stick with two lams from now on. Used less materials but required alot more work and care to avoid twist. I narrowed the throat and made it dead-center shot rather than 3/16" or so out like I normally would per Art's request. The oak lams in the riser are particularly dark and it looks real nice. He came back from school last night and we'll be shooting later today, hopefully I'll have some photos of this and my brother's new bow in action.
I tested it this morning to make sure it's alright, it was shooting really well, but I thought it seemed a little slower. Figured it was just the nature of a such a lightweight bow, until I weighed the arrow and found I'd been shooting at 15 gpp ;)
mullet:
Kegan, those are SWEET!. I like that handle style also. Those bows look like they ought to be fast. Good luck on the new Venture, and your brother does look like an animal. ;)
jeff halfrack:
Good job!!! hey could you go into more of that build? I have been looking at that kit, then I just copied it I haven't glued it yet I'm real curious thanks JEFFW
Kegan:
Thanks Eddie :). Truth be told, playing with glass bows has made making selfbows more fun too. Guess it all comes around in some way ;)
Jeff- you mean a build along sorta thing? I did one here, http://economicalarchery.webs.com/fiberglasslambow.htm. Built these from scratch, so if you have a kit you should have an easier time of it all.
