Title: Swervey - Curvey Finished Up
Post by: Burnsie on November 08, 2025, 09:40:48 pm: This one had a lot character in both directions - side to side and roller coaster.
It's the first time I've tillered one like this, its pretty tricky seeing the bend through all the noise.
It's definitely not perfect, but i'm pretty happy with it. 67" NTN, 48.5# @ 28", added walnut to build out the handle.

It actually shoots real nice too - I was stacking them in my back yard target pretty decent.
Allergies - what allergies?
