My latest bow... (F'n-glass warning...)
« on: August 08, 2013, 04:37:50 pm »
I just finished this one up. It's 62" TtT and #58 @ 28". Clear glass, osage veneers, red elm cores, black walnut and osage I-beam riser.

This is my 3rd F'n-glass  >:D

That is a very nice bow you have there.  Plus you have my weight and draw length down perfect.   ::)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks guys. It shoots pretty good :)

you don't really have to "tiller" a fiberglass bow if you are using a known working design. You just figure out the lam stack for your desired draw weight and then cut the profile. If you do a little planning it should bend perfectly without help. But you can tiller a little from the sides. IMO fiberglass bows are way easier than selfbows.

The duck has gone to the dark side. O well that glass is clear so we can still see the real bow within  >:D

Ha Ha Ha...  ;)

The first bow I ever made was a glass bow :) then I went to backed bows and now I am going to stick to self bows. After this one of course...  ;D

     Beautiful! :o  Very nice, and well done.  You said it shoots "OK", any problems?  Hand shock, etc. .  Is it pretty fast?  Either way, it is beautiful! 8)
