scp:
At that stage, I would stop using a rasp, and start using just scrapers or sanding blocks with long and even strokes.
bradsmith2010:
its 64 inches,, Im just playing it by ear,,,but something in the 50# range,,not sure bout draw length yet
bradsmith2010:
sound advice scp,, Pat and I were discussing how sometimes the fastest way to get where we want to go is slowly,,,,
got the bow strung,, got quite a bit of wood to take off,, its 40# at 12 inches,,,,should be able to get it bending even before missing 50#
bradsmith2010:
more pics,, strung low brace
bradsmith2010:
low brace, bow pulls 50#@17 now,, and looks good on tiller tree pulled to 17,, so far so good,,the top limb looks little hingy at tip,,, but its deflexed there,, so I think im ok,,
