Hackberry recurve build along, real time hopefully. ** DONE **
Prarie Bowyer:
SWEET! Awe man... more options to consider!
That is it! I'm starting my first recurve this week! I'll reward myself after finishing a bit of Logistic Regression Analysis. Must stay focused.... Work then play.

ive tried this on osage and hickory. im still working with the osage to try to make it better. and the hickory is in the corner of shame. rv

Rudy I believe the key to keeping them flat and straight is to have plenty of form beyond the curves. My forms are two feet long. That way I know at least one limb and recurve are lined right up. If your forms are just long enough to make the bends your limbs can waiver left and right causing poor alingment and twist. Also it helps to take it off my reflex/temper form dead straight an flat.

Thanks Marc. Your recently published PA article scared the snot out of me. I though to myself, "Great, now they have something correct to compare mine to........not good!".

Thanks Country. I used to be timid about discussing how I did things. Now I have no problem posting my way, like it or not!!!!!
