Tillering advice: This thing is kinkier than...
« on: December 16, 2025, 11:46:35 pm »
...I won't finish the title because this is a family friendly forum and all.

Same bow in this thread, if you want to see the early work:
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,73411.msg1029915.html#msg1029915

Got it almost to full draw. 
Unbraced:


25"



Thoughts?

Also:  It's going to come in about 5-6# underweight for elk hunting.  What would adding another layer of sinew do to the draw weight, do you think? 
I'd really like to go whack an elk with this thing.

Thanks!

What's the length, t/t? What is the draw length and draw weight now? How much sinew have you added to this bow?

Kinkier than a garden hose wrapped around a lawnmower.

That tiller looks good considering the limbs each leave the handle at a different angle.
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.
