Post by: Badger on April 02, 2016, 09:46:05 pm: That came out sweet, great job holding the profile. That would make a great 50# broadhead shooter at the flights.

Did you put the deflex in the fades? That's what I do with bows like this now.

I reduce my tips down to at least 7/16" thick X ~1" wide and on one ring along the belly,steam for 30 mins +,and then make the bend all at once over a form clamped nearby the heat source,and i dont use straps on the belly when bending it over. Works for me...your mileage may vary....thanks!!! ;)

One of the fades had a natural deflex kink and i just matched the other to it....normally i would prefer to put my deflex in the handle tho...thanks!!! :)

Post by: barebo on April 08, 2016, 04:55:56 pm: Chris,
Been a while - I'm just getting back into it. Do you remember the Hop Hornbeam Extreme Static I did a few years ago?? That looks curiously identical except for slightly shorter curves, which i recall you suggested that I do on mine. Your tiller is waaaaay better than mine, and gives me inspiration to make the next one! You've been making some beauties - great to see !!
