Slightly Ticked
sleek:
I kust built anotjer one of these, only this time I went 1/4" wider, and I put in the same amount of deflex as slightly ticked took in set. I got 1 3/4" set. But this is without heat treating the belly on either bow. I laid out an outline of tje bow on my door before full drawing it. All my set is in the last 15" of the limbs, starting slowly the gradually taking more as distacne goes towards the tips. Zero set out the fades to midlimb. I dont think the extra deflex made enough difference to justify it. Im gonna start taking deflex out a little at a time until set moves torwards the fades a bit more. Then stop and use that profile on the next one.
sleek:
After setting both bows side by side, tje distance from tip to back of handle is identical. I think the only real answer for this design is wider limbs. 1 3/4 perhaps.
Redhand:
That's a nice bow sleek. Job well done.

Thanks. It took lots of sweat and nervousness to make it. Came out ok. Cant wait to shoot it the first time next weekend.

I'll mow the lane for the short target range extra close so we don't lose arrows underground this time! Something tells me this bow could bury them down to the fletchings. :)
