Title: Re working an old shoot through Hickory Molle'
Post by: Del the cat on January 03, 2024, 06:51:51 pm

I've taken off 4mm of chrysalled belly and replaced it with heat treated Yew.
The levers are now 'T' cross section.
This vid' (latest in the series) shows how stiff the levers are and pulls it to 50# on a long string:-

I've never seen one done that way before, Del.  Very interesting!
