Hey everybody,
This is my latest shooter. It came after 2 other attempt at the same bow -
1st attempt - static recurve with 3" glued in reflex- so about 6" net reflex to start. Well, I got fooled by the reflex monster and it ended up way under weight. Havnt bother finishing it.
2nd attempt - same design, made sure to brace it early, but unfortunately was not careful enough tillering and ended up with some chrysalling on the top limb.
3rd attempt - success! (30 arrows so far) Was not as aggressive with the statics and opted for a mildly flipped tip. 3" perry reflex, and I also gave it a heat treatment before gluing (same as the others) and tillered caaarefully

Stats are 62" ntn, 60#@26, 1 3/4" wide. Hickory backed hickory. All of these attempts were glued with resorcinol (1st time doing that with lam bows) and I game them a heat treatment before the glue up. (Had to reflatten the back after the heat treatment)
Now I'm out of hickory

I'll post some finished pics when it's done if it survives a few hundred arrows.
