How do you tiller critique this thing.
« on: July 31, 2014, 05:33:27 pm »
Hodge-Podge Maple Bow - made from 2 broken bows. Maple 64"NTN around 42 @ 27".  This is an effort of 2 broken bows glued up.
The top limb is 2 lams glued up with reflexed tip, the bottom limb is an older pyramid style. I did not want to make the upper limb shorter. I wanted to try an asymmetrical design. The top limb is about 3 inches longer.

It shoots really well, where I point having no hand shock or twist. Bad job on the camo.
Quite honestly I like it despite its strange looking, it just feels good in the hand............. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Comments appreciated.

Its a US-yumi  :laugh:

If it shoots where you look it matters not what it looks like.

One thing I have noticed from experience, if it feels smooth when bracing it then the rest should follow.

I hate to put it this way, but I am laughing my butt off at that flippin' ugly thing!  If you weren't telling me it shot well, I would keep my mouth shut and move on. 

But if it shoots that good and is that ugly, well that's a great reason to celebrate with a belly laugh and an armful of arrows!  Way to go!  Scrounging, scavenging, and re-purposing seem to be traits that our crowd appreciates, and this bow is the best of all that.  Way to go, brother!

Thats why I inserted the laugh multiple times........... :laugh:      sometimes the ugly ones finish first.   ;)

The limbs were already pre-tillered    :o         She is silky smooth on draw and release.
