Laminate v1.2 as promised

<< < (7/12) > >>

Ian.:
Looking nice, you could brace it properly now. Those tiled floors are surprisingly useful to the bow maker.

adb:
Yes, definitely get it braced, and get rid of that overly long string. If you continue with a tillering string that long, you will be unpleasantly surprised later. It is looking good. With heavy bows, FF is the way to go.

So, I came here. I had a problem with one horn and bow shortened by 4cm. Now it is 74 ".
I can not fully drawn yet - more than 22" was not pulled!
Bow pulled 60 # for 15 "- that would be good to lighten slightly in the middle?
Sorry for my bad English :)

Ian.:
That is looking real nice, if it was me I wouldn't take anything off it, remember bows of this weight do lose a little with tillering. If you do however decide to take some wood off, take it from the entire limb.

}|{opukc:
I still fear to pulled it for full draw - this is 20 "
I will measure how much pull the bow of 20" and then decide whether to remove more wood.
Thanks for the help - this is the first bow over 125 #
