Post by: TacticalFate on January 08, 2013, 02:31:38 pm

Just want some comments before I take it out to 28". Currently 45lbs at 20". European Buckthorn, 68" NTN, high crown, some propeller.

I think it looks good. Be sure you draw 28 in. Jawge

The right limb mid limb where it crosses the first horizontal line from the tile looks a hair stiff....I do realize there is prop twist and more so in the left limb than the right limb. Left limb is looking good...your awful close.

I agree, mid limb on the right is about 12 scrapes stiff.

Considering the natural deflex in the left limb 2/3 the way out from the grip. I think that area could flex a tad more?

To 24" now. The area you guys said was stiff does have some reflex, so I didn't touch it too much. If this survives it's gonna be my first shooter :D

Maybe a little stiff on the left fad,but looks pretty darn good to me.I would shoot it
 short draw a little,and then see how it looks. What draw length are you shooting for and do you have any weight left to give. :)

Drawing 45lbs at 24" now, going out to 28". Just that fade?

I would take a little off that fad and some evenly off both limbs,what weight are you looking for at 28 it should be about 55 now figuring about 2 1/2 lbs per inch. :)

get the handle area bending a bit around 26 inches to get to 28 and you should be around your target weight with a nice functional d bow.
