Title: Elm/Hickory LB My Second
Post by: PeteDavis on June 11, 2010, 11:56:27 pm

My second LB. I got an elm board and a strip of hickory, planed, toothed and glued with URAC185 inducing 1.5" of reflex. Ended up with a 67.5" n>n, 1 3/4 w., pulling what feels like about 55-60 pounds at my 26.5". I could tiller more into the tips, but it is shooting quite fast and has 1.25" of set in it after two dozen shots. Go easy on me, it is my second bow and my first glue up. I started throwing arrows in a small group with this right off the bat, so I will just get some finish on it and shoot it. I wanted to have this bow ready for the Alterra Knap-In tomorrow (WVa) and I did! PD

Good job. I like stiff tips myself. Looks like it's flingin' em tight.

Looks good and a good tiller too. How does it shoot? Interesting combo of woods, that seems to work well

 It sure look's like a nice shooter. We can't get board wood like that here.
