new bow start

<< < (10/16) > >>

Pat B:
I released the bow from her form this morning. She's been in the dry(dehumidified)basement since Sept. 11. Once I removed the screw that held her to the form she only relaxed a little, just a little over 1/2"...



I braced her and put her on the tree so see how the tiller was affected by the sinew. The string is tight to the belly here in this pic...



...as you can see she needed a little off the left(top) limb. I did a bit more scraping then checked the draw weight. She's pulling 46#@16" so that works out to 73#@25". I need to bring the bend of the right limb(bottom) back into the handle and work on the left limb a bit. I still have plenty of weight to loose.

looking great,, :)

Pat B:
Thanks, Brad.

superdav95:
That will be a stout little bow. Lol. 

Pat B:
She is for sure now, Dave. I'd like to get her down to 45#-50# and hopefully at 25"
