Idea wanted

I put it behind the stove for 24 hrs and shot it first thing this morning and got 199 twice. So close but up 2 fps from yesterday so the RH seems to make a dif. Oh well It is what it is. Close but no cigar.

Heck of a job DC regardless of the numbers 👍🏻

Now that's real passion we see! Very nice and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.  I already thought about mounting a little hook on my D/R design ...you definitly convinced me. How do you make them arrows stop without breaking?

[DC]

I use carbon arrows for testing and I use a burlap bag that is free to swivel and swing. A box type target will even break carbon arrows. It's only 10'(3metres) from the target to the bow.

thanks DC - that will help me saving arrows (and money)  - I would light at least half of that cigar now

I tested it this morning and it was down to a steady 197 . I left it out in the shop last night and the humidity is 65-70 out there.

You should send that bow to me, our central Alberta desert level humidity would keep it right tuned up for 200fps.

Bamboo soaks moisture im learning, like hickory.  Keep that dude dry.

It's behind the stove again but the weather is good so the stove isn't on much. In summer the RH goes up here too so there's little chance of a 200 out of it for the near future. I'm not really looking for a bow that hovers around 200 anyway, I want one that's solidly in. I'm greedy, never satisfied
