Grumley style Deerslayer
« on: February 14, 2010, 05:28:54 pm »
Here's a Grumley style bow I made a while back. It's made of 12 pieces of wood. Quite the jigsaw puzzle come to think of it.
Pics aren't the greatest.

  I've always liked that style of bow. But I never could decide if all that extra weight at the tips hurt performance. Is that Ipe?

No, It's Bulletwood. The extra weight has to decrease performance somewhat but in a hunting situation it's splitting hairs.
 You can make the tips from much lighter wood though.
 However when this bow sends a heavy arrow crashing into the target at 20 yards you tend to not be worried about needle tips.
 I will finesse them down quite a bit but once I start shooting a bow I will often put that off (sometimes for years) if the bow makes me happy.

That's cool.

What are the advantages of this particular style?
