snappy hickory
« on: January 30, 2015, 03:10:02 pm »
This bow ended up being very snappy with such a smooth release, I think it might be next years hunter. I am looking forward to seeing what the hot humid summer does to its performance, it is so dry right now. 66", mid 50's at 28" draw. I trapped the back and tempered the belly. This was my first bush league attempt at the fancy grip.

  When they hold a profile like that hickory is real snappy wood. Enjoy it while it is dry. I wish my climate was a bit dryer here.

Thanks Chris, badger, bubby, and chief. I am going to do my best at trying to keep this dry over the summer. See if the hot box helps maintain it.

If you have central air in the house it should be okay this spring and summer.

Man that is one sweet bow.  I love the profile.  The humidity where I am drops dramatically in the warmer months.  It would probably be a great shooter out here O:)

That's a beauty.  Really like your stain or dye job.  How wide did you make it?

NICE!  The tiller is outstanding.   No wonder it's so snappy.
