My 2015 bow

(1/19) > >>

Badger:
       Here is one I am working on. I had planned on just using it for a broadhead bow but may use it for flight as well. 62" long, 2" wide at the fades, 16" non working handle and fades, last 11" of limbs is static as well. Not quite finished and I may come in a tad light. The draw curve is smoother than I expected. Looking for 50#@28".
I shot it this mornig and am very pleased with the performance. Mass weight will finish at 20 oz, way below what I had predicted. Funny thing about these extra wide bows I have been making is that they comming in at lower mass weight than the narrower bows. Can only be true if it means less damaged wood. Started with 5 1/2" reflex presently has 4 3/4". I usually stay away from big curves because I am horrible at linning them up. This one lined up beautifully for a change.

       I need to smooth out the curves a bit and do some finish work, little tiller touch up and get the draw out to 28". Feeling really good about it. Limb thickness is about .3.
Will post more pics as I go.

wow very nice,, please tell me what it shot through chrono,,  :) :) :)

Badger:
     Braced photo, not perfect but I can't take off anymore weight so will likely just leave it.
Brad, my chrono isn't working but I shot it side by side next to my world record bow which shoots in the low 180's and judging by how hard it hits the target it is no comparison, I shot it next to a glass recurve which also shoots very close to 190 and it seems to outshoot that one by a good margin also. Only shooting it at about 43# not to full draw yet.

     I got this in the wrong forum, can I move it to the flight forum?

bradsmith2010:
