Title: Don't Know What?
Post by: hillbilly61 on July 01, 2011, 07:52:34 pm

 Not surre what to call this one. I guess "Basic Luck". At least it stayed together. :o I had a 1/4" hickory and a 1/8" walnut backer strips. Decided to put them together. I steam bent the tips and flipped them. Glued the walnut backer on and waited. This afternoon I took the bands off, made some nocks and strung it up. The unbraced is after bracing and pulling it back to 27" over and over It's 58" Figured it might gain a few pounds after the handle is glued on. I'll post the full draw tomorrow after the handle dries. I am soooo happy this one didn't blow up :) :o

 Bill.... Surgery went good Monday. Been doing allot of walking and exercising it. Need to get back to work ASAP.

 Thanks guys for the nice remarks. Any way I can increase the draw weight now? Add another 1/8" lam?
