My 1st-Bamboo backed Osage W/Ipe core tri-lam
« on: March 11, 2015, 12:35:49 pm »
Hello All,

This is my first post on this forum. Been a long time follower though. I wanted to post some picks of my first bow (that hasn't broken) that I just finished up last night. Tell me what you think. I think it looks a little stiff on the top limb near the fades.

Welcome to PA! Nice bow and good pics. I think the tiller looks pretty good. I agree it looks a little stiff at that too fade but if it shoots good to us I wouldn't change a thing.

Looks fine to me. The unbraced pics of bows really tell the story. Yours looks great.

Welcome to PA Sean. I think you did good and especially for your first. R/D bows can be hard to see good tiller but I think you did good.

Looks great to me.  Nice smooth fades, too.  My first one sure didn't look like that. :)

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I owe to to all the pics of bows you guys have posted on the website for me to look at. I really wasn't quite sure how the full draw profile should look since its so short(60" ntn, 62" overall) I think I'm just lucky ;D. It does shoot well so I think I'll leave the stiff upper fade alone for now. We'll see how it looks after a couple hundred arrows. This is my first longbow ( I normally shoot a recurve) and I'm surprised how accurate I can shoot it off my hand.

Great curves!  One to be proud of.
