FINALLY! (PICS ADDED!!!!!)
« on: November 05, 2008, 11:27:11 am »
After many attmepts and becoming discouraged to the point of quitting....

I have FINALLY done it!

Today I finished tillering a bow.....55# at my peewee draw of 24"! 

It has 1 3/8 string follow....but it flat out fires an arrow!

I made it out of hickory backed ipe....it also has a thin red oak lamination in the hande area.

It is super super light!

I did learn a lesson though.....

I put a short string on it too quick.....hence the string follow!  Next time...I will spend an extra bit of time floor and long string tillering!
