Selfbowman:
No finish yet I’m going to take more off mainly outer limbs. Just rubbed with a shaft tamer.

Steve I think your right about that. The mass weight is the culprit in my opinion.

I second this opinion as well based on the experience I’ve had with boo backed bows. Weight is less and speed greater.

I love the profile Arvin. Question for you. Other than looks, what is the advantage of gluing on tip overlays? How much mass weight does the overlay add to the limb tip? In your search for more cast/distance, would the subtraction of that amount of tip weight gain you anything?

I was also thinking that there could be some weight reduced at the tips...you don't need much past the string nock. Merry Christmas everyone... :)
