HHB Flatbow 65" ntn 45# @ 26" "Dawn"
« on: August 21, 2019, 07:51:02 pm »
this bow is a HHB flatbow with what i think is beautiful character. it pulls 45# at 26" its  65"ntn and 67 ttt. this bow is my first stave bow, the form was given to me by bjrogg at the marshalls. I finished (mostly) there with the exeption of a finish and the tips. i was planning to put tip overlays on it but i never got around to it. it has taken a inch of set throughout the bow.  im really proud of the bow. Thanks to Bjrogg, Pearly, Dvshunter, Ryoon, and anyone else that helped for helping me with the bow. any tips you guys can give? where its stiff? Thanks!

Looks like you hit what you were looking at Russell.  I was wondering how that one was coming along.

Pictures are a bit blurry but looks like the brace height might be a bit low. Could probably put about ten twists in the string and check it again. How are you doing stringing it now?

I can't tell from pictures for sure but it looks to me like handle is still full width with just a arrow shelf cut in? You can very safely narrow that handle up make it fit you grip. Maybe you'd like to practice shaping a handle on a scrap piece of wood.

Was nice meeting you and your dad.

Bj, i will definentially put some more twists in it. the string dosnt like to stay on when not braced, so it falls off and unwinds. I can now string it with ease! its Amazing! I dont know what to do with the handle because the handle is shaped with the right side tapering down and the left side thick. I think i have some ideas though! I also got asked to show it, which i explained in the what did you do today thread.

Slimbob, Thanks! the TBB really helped with my knowlege! ill be getting it back to you in a week, ill pm you when its on its way.

 Nice bow Russell. Glad to see you got it shooting some arrows. I think " Dawn" is a great name. Good job.

Umm just got done shooting for today and the top limb went from having 1-1.5" of set to now 2"? i feel like its bending too much in the fades? maybe its just taking set but 2" and i want to see if its my fault. is there a point where the set stopps if theres a weak point or does it keep growing? Its right where the bump is right out of the fades.

now that I look at it and if you cover the bump up its bending more than it should. there is a concave part on the belly opposite to where the bump is. :(
