Radius the back edges well before floor tiller. Normally its not critical but in this case I'd keep the odds in my favor.

I will Sleek I did on the test limb along with a good hard rub from my shaft tamer

Well the back is done except for tip overlays. This is as straight as I could get it.

Other end

That really looks good. How wide is it, how wide compared to your normal design, and are you going for your typical 50 pound draw?

2-1/8 at fades. I’ve built them narrower and wider. It should work if not the test has been done.

Arvin, that is impressive. I REALLY hope that it does what we hope it will do and you break yet another record. I'm totally impressed with how you took an idea and turned it into a totally working prototype...congrats.

Thanks Bob . We’ll see. Tip overlays. Do you think I need to glue something across the back at the handle to keep side plate from splitting out if strung wrong? Just a hair to much side pressure.

Bob Barnes · « **Reply #116 on:** January 26, 2021, 03:12:17 pm »

I'm not sure I understand your question, but tip overlays are good for preventing the sting being able to slit growth rings. I don't know about the handle area, but someone else might. I always have a piece of leather on my side plates anyway, but I just use barge cement on them. If I wanted them for protection, I guess I would make them fit the entire site window area and I would use epoxy to attach them...

How about this? It don’t want to reflex any more.

sleek · « **Reply #118 on:** January 26, 2021, 04:27:28 pm »

Did you cut a dish into the back of the handle there?

Selfbowman · « **Reply #119 on:** January 26, 2021, 04:36:08 pm »

Yes going for 2” reflex. Well I’ll let that glue dry good for a few days and go quail hunting.
