Watch me build a reflex deflex boo backed ipe. NOT INSTRUCTIONAL

<< < (12/14) > >>

DanaM:
Thats terrible Jesse better give to me you don't want to be seen with that at Pappy's ;)

Looks pretty damn good to me of course I know nothing about laminated bows.

Jesse:
Thanks Dana if its still alive then you can play with it. ;D I was looking at these pics and trying to see if I can judge which part was working the most based on where on the limbs it took set. My thinking is that it took about 1" set. 3/4 of that was in the inner limb and the tips are 1" down so that must be the other 1/4" since the outer reflexed limbs are shorter it seems like that is about even distribution. Does this make sense or am I thinking about it wrong ???    Jesse

DanaM:
Quit thinkin and just shoot it ;D Its a fine weabon Jesse

Jesse:
Your right Dana. gotta go its a nice day out there :D

Rich Saffold:
Jesse, At this point I'm usually shooting the bow a bit, then unstring it and see how symmetrical the limbs are. Sometimes I adjust it using the scraper I keep in my back pocket, and sometimes I just keep shooting it..How it feels and shoots matters most of all.

Looks great! And do be shy about using arrows a little heavier than 10 gr. per #
