Inaugural “junior” bow trade

<< < (31/56) > >>

stuckinthemud:
Believe it or not, it’s mid July!!! Is everyone still OK about mid September for shipping? 

Aaron1726:
I'm still good with that.  Got mine full brace and tillered out to 24 in, so closing in on things.  Gonna try to get some pics up soon.

Muskyman:
I’m good too. Backup bow is 100 percent done and trade bow is about 99 percent. Needs a handle wrap and tru-oil. Has had about 120 or more shots through it.
I’ll post pics when I get it 100 percent.

I hope to get back on my bow this week and I think I can be good to go by mid Sept...worst case I have a bow I started over a year ago that I've never gotten back to.  I may have to go with it.  Paul

Aaron1726:
Here's a few pics, haven't put any up of the build in a while.  Just a lot going on, so haven't had time to.  My target for this bow is 45 to 50 lbs at 28in.  Right now it's at about 50 at 27in so I feel like I'm on track to hit my target.  It's got a little bit of set, but I've started on a belly heat treat with a little reflex induced so will see how that ends up.

First Pic is at brace.  Second is how I tiller without a tree.  Not the most elegant, but I film myself pulling the bow like you see and then I can review the video on my phone.  This one is a challenge as my draw length is about 24in max so I'm really over drawing for this one, which is actually the longest draw I've ever gone after, so that's a bit fun in itself.  And then the last Pic is my setup for a heat treat, just using a heat gun for this, not a really heavy heat treat, about 45 min on this limb.  I'll let this one cool over night on the form and then do the other one tomorrow (hopefully).  I've put about 50 or so shots through it prior to heat treat and I'm happy with how it's shooting (I just have to draw like an English archer for this one, back to my ear).  I'm excited to finish it up and see how it turns out.  Hope the recipient is happy with it. 

I'll try to get a few pics up after the heat treat is done and I start finishing it up.
