50# selfbow Osage
Badger:
Very nice Arvin! What made it so special? No set??
sleek:
Will you nock it off Arvin? I'm over here constantly designing and crunching numbers on how to break your record with my short bow, and you keep moving the dang goal post!
That bow looks amazing and I don't see any set in the spots you have struggled with in the past. I'd like to see you shoot that one in flight as well.
Selfbowman:
No Steve it took about 1” of set. Thru out the length of the limbs. Not sure what that means? It broke down thru the entire bow I guess. Lots of stress in this design. It has good cast . Never pulled it over about 47# till I got 26-27”. I got it to about 47@27 then pulled it to 50@28. I have one that broke and I glued it back together it shoots a tad farther. We will see what they do in September.

I would like to have had some back set it the handle not a lot just a 1/2 “ or so. This wood took heat but was contrary about it.
Selfbowman:
Sleek I’ll test it in flight but this design does not do so good in flight so far. Comes up 20-30 yards short.
