50# selfbow Osage

[Selfbowman]

I built this 50#er. Did not end up like I wanted exactly but it will more than likely break a broadhead record.

very nice Arvin and good luck!
looks like an ode to the pyramid-design.
I'd love to once work a clean and straight piece of osage like that.
cheers

I'm looking forward to seeing just how far it shoots Arvin.  So... you will beat your own 239 yards 1 foot and 11 inch record.

Astro turf . No need to mow but getting small leaves off of it is a pain.

Nice looking bow Arvin. I’m curious as to what didn’t turn out like what you wanted? What would you change and why?

[Badger]

Very nice Arvin! What made it so special? No set??

[sleek]

Will you nock it off Arvin? I'm over here constantly designing and crunching numbers on how to break your record with my short bow, and you keep moving the dang goal post!

That bow looks amazing and I don't see any set in the spots you have struggled with in the past. I'd like to see you shoot that one in flight as well.

No Steve it took about 1” of set. Thru out the length of the limbs. Not sure what that means? It broke down thru the entire bow I guess. Lots of stress in this design. It has good cast . Never pulled it over about 47# till I got 26-27”. I got it to about 47@27 then pulled it to 50@28. I have one that broke and I glued it back together it shoots a tad farther. We will see what they do in September.

I would like to have had some back set it the handle not a lot just a 1/2 “ or so. This wood took heat but was contrary about it.

[Selfbowman]

Sleek I’ll test it in flight but this design does not do so good in flight so far. Comes up 20-30 yards short.
