Title: BBi finished
Post by: JWMALONE on March 10, 2018, 01:21:30 pm

Hello Guys, I think she came out ok, snappy shooter. Bamboo backed Ipe, 62 inches n2n  #49 @26. its 1 1/8 wide parallel out 8 inches tapering to 9/16 tips. Doesn't have any noticeable hand shock but the next one I will take the tips down to 3/8 just to see the difference. Put about 300 arrows through it and no issues with the handle. Had an inch of reflex off the form still has an 1/8th.

Nice bow JW!  Do you leave the tips long(past the nock) for a reason, or just personal preference?

Great job! If nothing else narrower tips on your next one will make it noticeably faster.

240, I done that on purpose for two reasons. 1. To make it easier to string with my stringer. 2 to see what effect it had. I'm going to make another just like it one day and will compare the two. I can always chop that off and narrow the tips but it shoots so good I don't want to screw it up trying to tweak it..

Good job, that came out great. How high is your brace height?

Yeah, the brace looks a little high to me.

 That was quick!  She looks great.  At that length, you might not notice much difference when you narrow tips on the next one, but you might>
