Fast flight fears

[huisme]

huisme I'd like to see some of your BL bows.  Hopefully in the future I'll make one, heck the BL trees are right in front of me.     

I only photograph them every so often or when requested, so here's all of those in albums: http://huisme.imgur.com/

You'll notice they're mostly mollegabets

Some cool bows huisme you can sure make them short.   BL resembles Osage  like Grain texture and color.  I dont think its as dense.

I like short. It pushes my ability to really get the most out of a stick.

Far less dense and its main drawback is that it's easier to break than osage, from flaws to impacts. Besides that it's stiffer, lighter, and easier to find in Washington

My current impression (get your salt ready) is that optimized locust will outcast optimized osage by a few fps but the locust's chances of being damaged are greater and it's easier to under-build a locust bow so optimization (do it and call it how you will) is more risky. If I had one chance to make a bow from one perfect stave to use for the rest of my life I'd go for osage 'cause I'm no dummy. If I had five I'd go for locust

  I've used fast flight on my bows for 17,18 years. I still bow hunt with a fast flight when I have them.
