Hickory bow build.
superdav95:
Ok so went to work on this today and got it as close as I date go. It’s at 46lbs at 28” on my scale. It feels more stable doing several pulls on the tiller rig. 50 pulls to 28”. 20 at 29”. Feels good so far. Proof will be in the shooting tomorrow if weather is good. The horn stabilized the bow I think and hope it will be a good shooter. Here’s some full draw pics. Tiller on the top limb on the right side towards the tip transition is little stiffer then I want but that’s due to the splice repair that was done there. Looks good otherwise and the bend is where I want it. After doing several pulls on this thing it came right back to its highly reflexed profile. It settled in at around 13” reflex right after unstringing and letting it rest for about 5-10 mins. Gotta be happy with that. I’ll try and get a chance to shoot this again tomorrow. Here’s some pics. The third pic shows the splice repair. Seems to be holding. Thanks for looking and following along on this crazy build.

Looks fast to me!

I gotta second Arvin’s notion.
It does look fast.
Thanks for sharing this build with us Dave. I know it was a challenging one and it threw you a curve ball or three. I think it was a good opportunity for us to step a little closer to the edge and even look over it. Great learning experience.
One like this is on my bucket list. I’m not sure I will have the nerve to post it as I go through.
Well done
Bjrogg
