Ocean Spray with siyahs
« on: June 02, 2017, 06:29:22 pm »
This is the bow that I've been fiddling with for a while. 45#@28" 62NTN. Siyahs are also OS and the tip overlays are fumed OS. OS is very hard so I just marked the arrow pass with a couple of file cuts filled with graphite and 5 min epoxy. You can see there is very little difference between braced and unbraced. This is the natural deflex. It's a cinch to brace and I was expecting it to be a real dog with so little early draw weight. But it shoots right around 165fps with a 10gpp arrow. So far I'm really liking this bow.

Wow! That is a sweeeeeeeet bow DC!  (-S Beautifully executed with the siyahs and all. I've never attempted one of those before but now I think I must try. Keep your mailbox free so I can bombard you with PMs!

You really should be proud of this one.  ;)

Awesome bow DC!! Did you leave a little of the main limb sticking past the siyahs to make the bridges?sounds like good performance and an easy shooter.

Wow, thanks guys! I'm really grateful for the comments. There are pictures of the constuction here  http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,60489.0.html The bridges are part of the siyah, I almost cut them off and then caught myself. Mailbox is always open but everything I know is in the link.
Thanks again
