That's a great looking bow.

Its going to be a shame to use that thing as a walking stick to get up the mountain in September!








But I know you will anyway

[LeanMachine]

Won't be a shame. It will be the highest honor for such a conglomeration of wood and fiberglass!

[TMiddleton]

You still do good work, looks great!

[Randy M]

Turned out very nice. Congrats on the nice build.

[Slick8]

You've got some insane skills.

Good luck on the build and hunt.

I have not taken any but will try to get the wife to take some for me.

here ya go

[chackworth3]

Looks good. Might try stiffening the tips up a little on the next one just to see what it does

[LeanMachine]

So leave the tips a little wider? How far from the tip should I keep it wider at? These limbs would have been wider but I had some issues I had to correct. However I think most of what I lost was more mid limb.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

[chackworth3]

No just put either a little more reflex in the tip or try a tip wedge in it to stiffen it up and see how it works for you. The width is probably fine

[LeanMachine]

Gotcha. I haven't done much research on tip wedges. Though they are called wedges, I assume they are parallel? How long are they typically?
