Hi tech redneck flight bow.

Jim Davis:
Far more certain  to succeed if you reduce only the width. 30 percent narrower should put you at about 35#.

sleek:
Reducing the width is a great way to reduce draw weighr, but only if the bend radius isnt over stressing the limb. Considering the ser this bow took, its safe to say thickness reduction would decrease bending stresses, allowing the draw weight to match the bow width more. That combination should increase bow speed and efficiency.

Selfbowman:
Jim I respect your suggestion and would go with your recommendation if I was making it for a daily shooter.  I agree with sleek on this one. I was told by Badger that it was toast for flight. Damage already done. So I’m just thinking on this for awhile.

We missed you at flight this year Arvin. Can't wait to see you next year breaking a record with this thing. I've also been toying with modified designs from the Greyson Museum collection from the golden age of flight here in the 1940s and 50s. I'm only going for records I don't have yet. This year I was 8 cm short of the 50# simple composite. For that one, I just need to brush up on my form. Want to bring a 80 or so pound bow for the unlimited class.
Take care

I'm absolutely convinced that you will accomplish your goals.  I'm looking forward to seeing what design you come up with and watching the progress.  You and Arvin are my heroes.  :)
