Thanks again everyone. I appreciate the compliments. I'll get a braced and unbraced profile tonight if I make it home before dark, and if not I don't work tomorrow so I'll get em up then. The limbs took very little set, but it took some in the handle area when I tried to push the design too heavy. After heat treating it and shooting it in a little around 75ish at 26" the outers were too stiff and it stressed the handle area.
By the end of that afternoon outing I could feel the handle flexing too much. That provoked the second retiller and I thought what the heck, hasn't blown up yet, might as well go to 28". I took it slow and got em bending better and let it become whatever weight it wanted to be. Turned out 67#. I'm just happy and fortunate it survived the abuse. Osage is tough stuff. I'm pleased with the performance and put about 1,000 arrows through it. Here's to hoping for a million more lol!
Aaron I'm not Kansas anymore. I moved to Southeast Nebraska out in the sticks West of Omaha.
