Huisme, i think that it matters less how much string follow it has and more how well it shoots. If it shoots good, theres no reason to change it. Unless your just plain silly like me and get reflex happy  ;D

The bad part is i still enjoy doing it. Even if it is just a waste of time or just plain scary  >:D. Gonna incorporate sinew into my designs. Just to be on the safe side, don't want to be responsible for someone losing an eye.

Well, I heat treated it on its back hanging off the table with a ten pound weight on the lever, so it's god some reflex I'm pretty sure should be permanent.

I'll bend the levers a little too, I'm just wondering if you think I should wrap the overlays in anything to protect the glue ???

If it loses reflex again I'm just going to call it good, it shot five arrows with a kinda-low brace alright, should be great when the levers are their final dimension and and brace is right. I'm thinking she'll get one of my skinny strings with double serving and uh... Well... I don't know what I'll make silencers out of, I ran out of rabbit a while ago :o

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

A little string follow is no biggie.  Anyone of us would be tickled to death to get that puppy :)

Ttt

I'm letting mine rehydrate slowly, I'm not sure of any adverse effects from keeping it in the shower room but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Just a couple of scrapes and a slight tiller adjustment to the lower limb if the heat didn't change too much and he'll be ready to polish, shoot in, and ship ;D

Ok, potential candidates...Hickory, Winged Elm, Buckthorn, Yew, Cascara, Bamboo/Ipe, SeaGrape, and...Osage.  I've got an Osage going now that will be the back up bow.  Thoughts, comments?
