well my plan was,, try it and see how she shoots,, putting recurves has been difficult for me at 7000 feet,, I dont know if I just had a bad streak ,, but I cracked some tips etc etc,, so I thought instead of risking cracking something( on this beautiful stave),, I would just learn how to splice the recurves on if I need too,, I dont know what wood I would use,, just make that decision when I get there, probably going to ask for advice on that one,, I have had pretty good luck with the straight limb ,, when the whole bow is reflexed,, it will be a hunting bow,, I dont flight shoot or anything,, just want something that shoots hard for the draw weight,, also I thought it would be very interesting to see how it shoots straight tips,( next time I will try your suggestion and splice first so I can sinew over), and then see what the difference would be with the recurves,, I would shoot both ways through the chrono,,, anyway thats my plan ,, we will see how it shoots like it is,, and then I will make a decision about the recurves,, elm does sound good to me,, I will check and see if I can find any here,, I will check out bubby's horn bow,,
DBar,, I am hoping it shoots so good I might not have to do it,, but am ready to learn when the time comes,, I have seen some nice recruves spliced on this site,, plan to ask for lots of advice on that one,,
DWS,, the reverse tiller did turn out pretty good, I hope that helps when I start the real tiller
