Tri Lam maple bow
« on: September 20, 2015, 03:55:24 pm »
63 NTN 3 lams and 1/8" backing strip.  It shoots very strong burys the arrows in the target so hard I use 2 hands to pull them out.  I assume its around 44#.  Brazilian cheery tips and arrow pass.

No, the bottom limb is. Turn your pic sideways and have a look. Looks you are struggling with the draw. Can you lift things up a bit?
  It also looks like you're not sure where to grip it. You may want to make your handle a bit more definite.

Oh.....  I'am struggling somewhat because I have the camera set on A 10 second timer.  I do want to leave it at full draw to long.   I flung a few arrows yesterday and she shoots fine.

Looks great, I agree with PatM on the tiller but all in all, a very nice bow. A leather handle wrap would add a final touch in my opinion but it still looks good without it.
Whatever you are, be a good one.

99% of my pics are with the timer the trick is to wait till the light starts to rapidly blink to draw it gives you several seconds to draw, and take several pics, i agree with the other guys on the tiller , but overall nice bow
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Thanks guys, now that you mention it I can see the bottom limb is a wee bit out.   Have to fix 'er.

I just use the video on my phone, take a video and then screenshot the full draw pic. Much easier I've found
