Hi tech redneck flight bow.

[sleek]

I’m going to try the bow. If it don’t work out it could maybe make a blind hunting bow for BJ.

You should get good distances, I'd think you can break 300 yards. Whats the speed with a 450gr arrow?

I think you were 25% underbuilt. Id like to see this exact bow made 25% wider and compare.

You sure build a sweet bow Arvin.

There is no doubt, Arvin can sure carve a pretty stick.

Very interesting build Arvin. I do like the projected full draw profile. Sure would be a sweet little hunting bow, but I’m hoping it does everything you want it to.

PS I don’t see any set except at the tips?

It happened about 14-18 from center of the bow.

Ok I see it now. Interesting nice build Arvin. Nice numbers. I will be watching to see how far she flings a arrow for sure.

PS start digging sugar beets tomorrow morning 5:00 am. Our last crop left to harvest. Then maybe I can do some tillering on the blanks you sent me

[Selfbowman]

Congratulations on the fall harvest . Hope you get good prices for you crops!

That's an amazing looking bow.

I made a deflex like that a few years ago but didn't progress it because I was scared I would pop the crescent out of the riser. Could be an irrational fear though. Did you put dowels in it?

[Selfbowman]

No dowels. Smooth on epoxy. My fear was a string braking and the glue joint failing  in a dry fire. Thinking about reducing this bow to 35# draw and letting a lady try for a flight record with it.

you dont have high hopes for it at #50?  why?

if you reduce you will leave width and length as is?

As you drop weight, speed test it in 5 pound increments, also try to start introducing reflex when you hit 35.

[Selfbowman]

Willie I will test it . If not looking good I will reduce in thickness and narrow the outer limbs  but leave the length the same. That’s a coming from me. AVCase May have a different idea. Keep following the bend profile as close as possible. That’s my present thinking.
