Quote from: dragonman on April 27, 2014, 05:55:48 pm are you talkong about a stiff handle here?....with a stiff handle bow thats not so easy to pull off as you might think....100lb bow will be quite thick and inflexible at 60" long, I wouldnt like to make 100 lb bow that short.....50-60lb you still have to get it just right not to get excessevie set....but 100 lbs will be difficult.....The only thing difficult to do with a build like this is pulling it back. Set is irrelevant, you just account for it.

I think I'm on my 3rd bucket of popcorn and looks like I'll be needing another one or two before this ones over
I don't actually want your bow, but I know you want to try to keep it. It's on. Still, could you answer the recurve question? Shouldn't recurving make it more stressed and likely to fail? ps What is with the pyramid request? A flatbow is ANY kind of flatbow. I'll be deciding that. pps: It may be that you are saying a flatbow of any style, including a pyramid?
Well, it's mostly Marc that I'm calling out, but fine. I'll make you one of my static recurves if you can make this bow. You pay shipping if it comes down to it. Agreed? Just so we're chrystal clear...60" OAL100#@26"Stiff handled flatbow, pyramid styleNo: recurves, flipped tips, sinew, statics, composite horsetype bows, or anything else. A flatbow. Kinda strange you want one of my recurves. I thought yours were top shelf?
I will volunteer to build a 60" stiff handled recurve 100# drawing 26", if I can find a piece of white oak straight enough and 4" wide, 1 1/2" thick, if not I will do a tri lam. Try to have it by next monday.
Could you let us know why you think this is impossible? Have you tried doing similar yourself?

Don't make me start throwing MY weight around here. Start another thread.
