How thin for Mollegabet stiff limbs
« on: October 28, 2012, 12:51:55 pm »
So for my second bow I'm working on a hickory mollegabet, looking do draw about #55, any guess as to how thin I can go with the non-working limbs?  I'm at just a hair over 1/2 inch at the tip and about .75 thick from back to belly.

Thanks for any insight!

Id stay right there for now. How long are your levers?

Once you get the bow tillered out you can reduce the levers to where they just start to give a little. There is no reason to reduce them now.

About a foot.  I'll just leave them alone for now.

Thanks!
