Bogaman  have you seen the old commercial with the hard hat and super glue :P
Reduce the mass at the tips, everything on that side of the tips is wasted speed
It only has to hold less than half the bow poundage  ;)


Ohma2   YES

Thanks Guy's

Beautiful work. I like that you did not butcher in a shelf. Is a full-draw photo coming?

As for the tips, the part beyond the string nock is less important than you said--it does NOTHING except keep you from missing the nock when bracing the bow. On the other hand, there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to lightening the tips. Your probably looking  a variation of less than one fps from lightest possible tips to heaviest average tips.

Again, very nice work.

Nice looking bow!  Those nocks are interesting.  Can't wait to see the rest of it.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
