We'd need to know the weight of the water in the bow at 8% to be able to do that math....

[Selfbowman]

.ok Jim 🤠🤠

Day 4 32.1 still going down. Still at 8 percent.

Day five 32.1 will check it for three more days to see if it changes.

Hey, saw someone posted a pic on F/B of a deer that they had shot with one of your bows. They used your legal name and I wasn't sure if it was you or not. Kinda feels good when someone is successful with your bow, don't it?

Ya JW there is a story about that deer. The first time he was at almost full draw on it when the bow I made blew. He called me said I need another bow Arvin. What happened to the one you’ve been shooting. He told the story and I’m thinking and he wants another one. Ok??? I told him I had one that was probably in the top ten I had made. He drove 170 miles the next day to get the bow. Shot it about 4-5 times and we did some trading and went home with it. So I guess he liked the way the first one shot. The second time the Arvin bow got it done.🤠🤠🤠🤠it’s good to have guys that confident in your equipment.

He'll have more than a few meals in his belly courtesy of that confidence!

It’s dry 3days at32 oz I will finish it in the next few days. Tomorrow I’m busy.

Got it to 50@ 25” put a couple coats of true oil on it . One inch of set . No frets with the magnifying glass so far . I will try to test an arrow thru the crono but I just don’t trust mine.

That's really cool, hopefully it holds up alright! Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

JW.  I saw that post as well.  Very cool Arvin.  Looking forward to what this thing can do

[sleek]

It took one inch of set, how much returns after unstrung?

Fingers Crossed Arvin - I have tried black locust only twice but haven't been able to get a shooter from it - proibably my tillering skills and patience are not good enough. It feels very stiff and powerful.

Well I can’t get my crono to cooperate. Here is some finished pics.
