New bow class

<< < (7/9) > >>

JW_Halverson:
Haven't posted much from class, but we have been making steady progress all along. Last night I declared both bows finished and we shot 'em.  Dally's came in close to 50lbs of draw, but Rob's had a few issues including a wind check that delaminated through the handle section and left him with less meat than we wanted. He glued on a section of purpleheart for the handle, but didn't extend that out into the fade-outs. That meant we had to go with a lower weight so that the fades would not bend and start the handle popping off. But for a lighter bow, it has significant zing, even with the heavier ash arrows we were shooting.

One of the guys at The Shop snapped a few photos and is sending them to me so I can post results.

Thanks for the update JW. I'm sure that everyone was smiling proudly
