unfinished 64" elm 67@32" full draw shot...finished it plain
« on: February 18, 2012, 07:08:13 pm »
heres some fun experimenting im having today that i thought id share with ya all. its a longer version of my mighty mouse in whitewood form. R/D molly bendy. its 67 pounds at 32" here. yeeesh...im surprised how smooth it is for such a short bow n long draw. this design fricking rocks. i still need to reduce the levers down,n then shoot it,but i thought id share this now cus i think its too cool. she still maintains a half inch reflex after unstrung. i started with 3 1/2" heat treated in. i had to put a wrap in the upper limb because when i reflexed it,it pulled a tension splinter on the belly. but shes holding. hmmm? looks like i could go a couple more inches >:D

a lot of draw for 64"!!!!  Very impressive! I love when you basically try to brake a bow and it will not. But when I do that they don't go back into a reflex? Nice job  blackhawk!
