Title: 65 3/4" Tril-lam
Post by: tradbowr on April 24, 2007, 08:14:56 pm: Just finished this bow , Its 65 3/4 " TTT , 64" NTN . 50# @ 28" The back is raw boo , core is blood wood and the belly is boo flooring. the riser is made up of Kingwood and Brazilian Cherry. tip overlays are Bloodwood. This bow seems to like all the arrows I put thru it. from heavy ash to carbons.Even with my XX short draw ;D it spits them out with authority . The bow has retained 2 1/2 " of reflex after tillering goes to about 1 1/2 " after shooting but regains the inch after rest. Pete

Post by: duffontap on April 25, 2007, 01:19:39 am: My laptop rotates the images for me. It also thinks for me and tillers a nice longbow.

Nice bow there. Spine sure shouldn't be an issue with that generous cut-out shelf. Beautiful wood and perfect tiller. You must be proud of that one.

Post by: tradbowr on April 30, 2007, 10:35:57 pm: Took this bow out yesterday ,, Went to a 3D shoot. Well I will call it a 3D shoot . but my freinds and I would take turns picking where we would shoot from , more like stump shooting. This bow really worked well for me shot where I looked and it shoots an arrow out with Authority. ;D I think this bow will be a shooter for some time.

Post by: jignfrog on May 01, 2007, 12:17:41 am: Beautiful bow. I love the colors you picked out. Good tiller. And it shoots good for you to boot. I would say that it is a perfect bow.
