white ash build along (finally done( this time for real))

<< < (24/30) > >>

Del the cat:
If you halt the vid at dull draw, it looks a bit whip ended and the lower limb is looking in danger of getting a tad hingy (at about 3/4 along the limb).

CraigMBeckett:
I athink Del has it.

If you stop the video at 5 seconds you get a good look at the tiller just before loose, the lower limb is stiff until a bit under 3/4 length when it appears to hinge. and then shows whip from there on.

I think you need to do more work on the lower limb while keeping clear of the hinge onwards.

Best of luck

Craig.

RyanY:
Ditto to what Del and Craig have both said about the tiller. Also, the draw weight will not increase when you increase the brace height and nor will the speed. There is an optimal brace height for each bow depending on the length and style.

With regards to your shooting style, make sure you're getting that arrow all the way back. I see a few inches you could be getting an enemy with.  ;D

fishfinder401:
thanks for the advice, I've,  been slowly getting rid of that hinge and will have it gone soon
this bow is soo fun to shoot ;D

toomanyknots:
It appears your bow has a hinge or the beginnings of a hinge on the bottom limb about a foot from the tip, and for the most of the bow it is flatish and not working enough. This could end up braking your bow. You can see this in your video if you pause it at full draw.
