Hi tech redneck flight bow.
Aussie Yeoman:
That's an amazing looking bow.
I made a deflex like that a few years ago but didn't progress it because I was scared I would pop the crescent out of the riser. Could be an irrational fear though. Did you put dowels in it?
Selfbowman:
No dowels. Smooth on epoxy. My fear was a string braking and the glue joint failing in a dry fire. Thinking about reducing this bow to 35# draw and letting a lady try for a flight record with it.

you dont have high hopes for it at #50? why?
if you reduce you will leave width and length as is?

As you drop weight, speed test it in 5 pound increments, also try to start introducing reflex when you hit 35.
Selfbowman:
Willie I will test it . If not looking good I will reduce in thickness and narrow the outer limbs but leave the length the same. That’s a coming from me. AVCase May have a different idea. Keep following the bend profile as close as possible. That’s my present thinking.
