elm takedown
« on: March 03, 2008, 02:02:05 pm »
been a while since i finished a bow. and i know eddie i gettin sick of my stone age bows ;D so i did something different (for me). elm 17/8" wide and fades tapering to 1/2nocks blah blah blah. 50#@26". had to put a mulberry lam. on the bend of the curves cause they started to pull out. 66"nock to nock. had a tough time visualizing the bends with a stiif handle seeing as most of mine bend. would of liked to of gotten a little more bend near the fades but the bow shoots like a dream so i let it be. top limb also had a bit more deflex near tip so it looks odd but its not

Party On dude ;D

You know Justin is going to complain about the full draw picture, its supposed to be against a contrasting background
centered and leveled ;D

Other than that it looks good jamie, man sure wish elm was more common here.
