Thanks Arvin. I don’t think so. To do so I would have had to do that before the sinew and hog gut covering over the sinew. The back has a slight crown on it with the addition of the sinew. To do a trap of back now may violate the carefully laid sinew. I guess it could be done in theory but the sinew held so strong and should be a good balance with the horn. We shall see anyway. I’m hoping for it to be around 800 grams in weight which is similar to my build from last year and it’s a screamer.

I was speaking of trapping before the hickory got to thin. But thanks for the explanation.

Ah yes. Gotcha. Ya I never expected it to get so thin. That may have been an option to consider. Oh well it will get sorted now with the horn I think.
Gordon:
That bow is coming along really nicely.
