Bamboobacked Osage Static Recurve
« on: May 25, 2008, 08:04:30 pm »
    I've been working on this bow off and on for over a year. I decided to take it with me to Pappy's Classic to see if I could make any progress on it. I figured being around everybody and chips flying, No mosquitos and nice weather I could get motivated. I felt kinda funny working on the only recurve there, but got asked a lot of questions about tillering recurves and hoped I answered all of them correctly. I got it shooting, even after missing the draw weight I was shooting for and the upper limb didn't match the lower one.
    I was shooting for 60 - 65# and ended up with 47#. The bow really impressed me with how fast it shot at 47#. Well I got it home , and it was hot, and mosquitos and couldn't get inspired to finish it again untill this weekend. I straightened the tiller, I think the time in the hot box helped more than anything. The weight jumped up to 50#@ 28". I Cammo'd the Boo with dark green, Rit Dye and acetone , using Q-Tips. It has a Spar Urethane finish.
    The bow is 50# @ 28", 60" knock to knock. And after not making weight I decided to Center-Cut it real deep. It sure shoots nice.

looks great, nice curves. 50# should just fine for a recurve.- Ryan

Nice looking bow Eddie.  Also, nice looking flip flops  :-)   

On another note, one of my NCOs is contemplating turning pro with full contact MMA.  He's beaten everyone within this region.

You worked on this at Pappy's? Dang! I'd like to have seen it.  All I saw of you was through a blizzard of rock chips.
Very nice bow and #14 for May Laminate Bow of the Month.

That looks great Eddie. looks like the limbs match now. I saw you shoot it before it was done and it was spitting them out fast.  With that camo job your gonna have to remember where you set it.                         Jesse

   Ryan thanks, 50# is plenty fast to hunt with and this bow is quick. I think taking as much weight off the tips as I could helped.

   Don there is some pictures that was posted in the Life Is Good thread, with me working on it.

   Jesse, I think it got faster after I tweaked on it some.
   
   Jimmy, first thing I do in the afternoon is kick the boots off and put on Flip-flops ;D Cool about your NCO.
 
  Marc,Glad you like it, it's one of your glue-ups. and I love the look of Static's.
