NZ- If it hadn't been for Sleek enthusiasm, this thread wouldn't have amounted to much I don't think
Simon- great to see you back on here. Thank you very much. It means a lot coming from a real bowyer
Brad- I'll do my best ;D

I can be quite an excitable fellow at times. This proved to be worrh every ounce of it too. Love this bow, love the results. The plan came together perfectly. The execution was flawless. The results came out exactly as the formula predicted within a margin of error due to differences in wood density. Im very proud of how all this went. Your success on this is worth being proud of!

And to think, this was just scraps.

I read the link u posted,..so with a heavier arrow,,,the mass of the tips does not effect arrow speed so much..but with a lighter arrow,..the tip with less mass has a positive effect on arrow speed.
The heavier the arrow,..the less critical bow tip weight would be?

Thanks for the link Don, I haven't read that in many years, worth re reading.
I quess I was asking if you were building finessing the limbs for flight shooting? you are already a quite light arrow.
DC:
Sleek-I'm looking at my staves to see if I have two that are long enough to cut two feet off so I have the "scraps" to do it again I think.
Brad- That's how I'm reading it. It was actually PatM that posted it first. I was just reposting it for Willie
Willie- I really just build for speed. It just happens to be the same stuff as flight shooting. We've only shot flight twice in two years. Finding 300 or more grassy yards is tough to find here. Would like to do more of it though. Speed is just about bows. Flight is about bows and arrows.
