Nifty trick using the tape to create an above ground swimming pool for the epoxy.
bjrogg:
Ryan . I was just thinking. Maybe you and Arvin both want to come my way. I’m sure I can have a big field to shoot in.
Would love to watch arrows fly with you guys.

RyanY:
I’ll definitely take you up on that, BJ. Let’s try and find a weekend this summer. I’ll talk with Arvin if he’s at the Classic this year.
bjrogg:
Let’s make it happen. After wheat harvest and straw off would probably be a good time. Thats usually around beginning of Aug. might be a good time for Arvin to get away from that Texas heat about then.

Finally got out to the shop after that long cold snap. I got some shafts from Surewood that I'm hoping will be light enough for flight. They are 30-35# spine and about 310-320 grains at 32". I have to make myself a shooting board to taper them to get the weight down. Then got the tape and epoxy off the osage bow. The reflex looks extreme but I'll cut a couple inches off the tips. The hickory bow is wonky. The limbs have differing amounts of reflex and some bumps. I think I got the tiller to a decent spot for now. I'll need to get that inner reflex straightened out a bit but I'll save that for later.
I took a picture of how I clamped the splice. It worked very well having the built up handle material to clamp too. I may do that for all future splices even if I don't need the extra material.
