Where to lose 2 or 3#

[bentstick54]

Well I got to work on it a little last night and some again this morning. I thought about Dels advice, but the talking harshly usually doesn’t end well for me so I followed Simk and Arvin’s advice and gently attacked the 1st 6”s of the inners and into the fade to the handle. Worked out great. Got it to my target weight of 46#. Shot about 30 arrows through it at full draw of 28” and let it sweat for several hours while I gave my hand a much needed rest, then shot another 20. Everything seems to have have settled in so far with no additional set or weight loss. Next step will be to put on a pair of road kill bull snake skins and truoil finish.
I’m trying to get this one done before I go in for back surgery Feb 2nd because I will definitely be out of the bow building/shooting for awhile.
Photo after touch up. Will try to get some final photos after finish and a full draw in hand before my surgery.

Sleek, yes my caul is set up to put a very mild reflex in about the last 10” of the outer, then this is the 2nd one that I’ve flipped the tips on. Before any tillering the tips where about 2-1/2” in front of the handle, and now settle in about 1” in front of the handle after 30 minutes from unstringing.
