Nice one Jim...I still haven't turned me a set...guess I'm lazy  or just burnt out turning all day,n last thing I wanna do on my time off is turn more metal

That's pretty sweet.  Is that just plain carbon steel?  How many threads per inch did you use?

Yes, plain carbon mild steel. I used 3/4-10 tpi. I have another set to try with 3/4-16.

7/8-14 would be nice,  but I don't have a tap  that size and don't want to single-point the internal thread--too much time.

[Marc St Louis]

Pretty slick.  Certainly not your average takedown

[Aaron H]

Yea, I would think fine thread would work best with threads that short

There are possible problems either way. A fine thread is harder to  start and easier to cross-thread.

Both seem to be plenty strong. I'm having fun with these. This bow is very obedient.
