My 2015 bow
Badger:
Thanks Jawge, Pat, I have a nightmare trying to keep the string aligned with anymore curve at the tips. Not one of my stronger bow building points. Even as it is I am surprised at how flat the force draw is.
sleek:
I just tried to build a bow like this. I failed. Super thin rings on the osage was so hard to chase that by time I got a ring chased the stave went from 2.5" wide to 1 1/8" wide. It was very wedge shaped. So im looking at 45# and reflexed tips again. Got 3 more staves though. Darn you badger, you're gonna make me burn through my staves chasing this design.
Jesse:
Thats some huge reflex 8) very cool. what draw length are you shooting for?
bradsmith2010:
whats the force draw curve looking like :)
Badger:
I plan to clean it up tomorrow and hopefully chart the draw curve. I may give it another heat treat. I am kind of worried it might drop more weight as I draw it out further. I want to find the sweet spot and stop, hopefully no less than 26". 28" ideally.
