How much weight can I expect to gain from sinew?
« on: October 06, 2009, 06:47:54 pm »
Just wondering how much draw weight I can expect to gain from 2 or 3 layers of sinew?  That way I can try to get close to my target weight.
Thanks in advance!

In my experience, it's usually somewhere around 10-20%.

Are you going to add reflex when you put the sinew on??

Probably about 7-10 lbs.  I would definately pull it into a slight reflex while drying
