hickory backed erc
« on: October 13, 2013, 01:02:07 pm »
62#ttt,pyramid with slight set back handle,50 @ 28"and came in @13oz.very well shot in. Take 7/8" unbraced and 5/8 resting.a glued in 3/8 of rEflex in the handle wich it lost half,so if this is taken in to account alittle more unbraced and resting set.nice little target bow for my brother to take back to japan.I tiller this one a little different in that most of the worK is being done by the outer limbs to minimis set in the inners.shoots fast and flat.the hickory looks thick in the overlay pic,but it's just under an 1/8".TFL!

Nice bow. I love this wood. I got a maple backed erc longbow I have been putting off posting, just cause I am a bit too lazy to make a string for it,  ::). ERC is a fun wood to work. I can't for the life of me go five minutes without denting the stuff though, especially on a longbow where I am running into everything, ceilings fans, etc,  :). Very nice bow, I bet he will love the crap out of it, as I am sure it shoots nice and fast, and it looks beautiful.
