Post by: lostarrow on November 08, 2013, 10:12:36 am: Excuse my ignorance, ( I know very little about the composite bows ) but why splice in the handle section? Does it help add reflex without stressing the wood ? I think I may have answered my own question but am still interested in your response.
Thanks ,Dave

Post by: }|{opukc on November 08, 2013, 11:46:59 am: @Beadman - your attempts looks good for now. Yes, will show groove parts. You can turn the shoulders back in reflex with sinewing.

@RidgeRunner - yes it is

@ lostarrow - splice in the handle section makes the bow lighter. This reduces overall weight and makes a bow shorter, but also can be made from whole core.

Post by: BowEd on November 10, 2013, 10:43:04 am: That's exactly the way I do my grooving too opukc.My grooves are about 10 grooves to the inch.Do you start with a guide first to get a straight line then finish up the depth of the grooves too.Thanks for doing this opukc.I could of with mine too did'nt.

Post by: }|{opukc on November 10, 2013, 11:17:07 am: Beadman - I get a e-mail.
I used plastic line guide to start first. First easier, after that everything is OK..I prefer these grooves, but you can do deeper.

Should not rush - the end for composite bows is unknown. There may be an unpleasant finish.
