Just want some comments before I take it out to 28". Currently 45lbs at 20". European Buckthorn, 68" NTN, high crown, some propeller.

I think it looks good. Be sure you draw 28 in. Jawge

The right limb mid limb where it crosses the first horizontal line from the tile looks a hair stiff....I do realize there is prop twist and more so in the left limb than the right limb. Left limb is looking good...your awful close.

I agree, mid limb on the right is about 12 scrapes stiff.

Considering the natural deflex in the left limb 2/3 the way out from the grip. I think that area could flex a tad more?

To 24" now. The area you guys said was stiff does have some reflex, so I didn't touch it too much. If this survives it's gonna be my first shooter

Can't give you any advice cause my tiller eye is less than perfect but I'm rooting for ya ! That buckthorn some wild wood isn't it?

Maybe a little stiff on the left fad,but looks pretty darn good to me.I would shoot it
short draw a little,and then see how it looks. What draw length are you shooting for and do you have any weight left to give.

Drawing 45lbs at 24" now, going out to 28". Just that fade?

Pappy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 09, 2013, 11:26:12 am »

I would take a little off that fad and some evenly off both limbs,what weight are you looking for at 28 it should be about 55 now figuring about 2 1/2 lbs per inch.

get the handle area bending a bit around 26 inches to get to 28 and you should be around your target weight with a nice functional d bow.
