Title: Petite lil youth bow pics.
Post by: Jesse on December 18, 2008, 07:27:22 pm

This was made specificly for a 16 year old girl. Its boo backed ipe with ipe overlays and some hickory in the handle . I glued it up like normal but being so thin it didnt spring back when I took the clamps off and held the exact shape so it ended up with a heavy deflex reflex shape. I like it. It shoots very fast for its weight. Its 61" 27# @ 25" supposed to be 25# @25" oh well its close :) A little less than an inch thick at the fades tapering to 3/8 nocks. This is an ultra light bow it feels like a little toy untill you let an arrow fly.

  That's a fast looking bow Jesse. I'd be curious what it would shot a light (310-400) cane arrow at. I just found out my wife's cousin's company goes through $8 thousand worth of Ipe a month and 1" sq pieces 8' long is scrap. Guess who might get it? ::)

Thanks adb
Mullet Im gonna try and shoot it through a crono at the archery shop tonight but I dont have any light shafts so I might have to try it with a c@#%$n arrow :) its close to center shot so spine isnt real critical.
 I Might have to trade ya out of some of that ipe.

And you were getting nervous about that piece..That is perfect Jesse! Ya those light bows or when the belly gets really floor tillered well don't spring back, and that's the purpose ;D

I'm quite sure the only time I was in weather that cold was at 20 grand over the Canadian Rockies in my hanglider...

Rich-rain passed, time for the Bermuda shorts...
