Pretty cool looking bow I wondered why more people didn't do the r/d with that design. Wasn't sure if there were performance issues or just hard to keep the limbs from twisting with the long narrow tips. Like to see the full draw after your finished.
-
Looks like a well performing bow and I like the camo duct tape! ;D
-
Looks good! What is the camo backing made of?
-
Michael-i dunno why?havent had any problems with twist and this thing shoots fast and hard and is whisper quiet with no shock!!I'm sold on it!! ;D
Prof and Jeff-thanks guys.Sorry prof not duct tape :P its a stretch skull wrap that that i found at a lil country store out my way for 2.99, i put it on with e-600.stuff works great!
-
very nice bow Randy !! whats the wood , looks like walnut with osage tip overlays. great design , hope to see some deer taken with this one in the hunting threads !!
-
thanks ken,Thats some of richs black walnut.Had an osage handle on it but it popped off and now i kinda like the bend in the handle!hope to get an arrow in one next weekend ;)
-
Thwack,
Looks real good to me, got to believe them pre-loaded levers just got to be fast. pretty slick. Like the treatments also as that ought to break up the outline real good, you'll know when the time comes.

Very nice work I like it. Jawge

Rich it is sweet!!I'm gonna get it on chrono and measure cast this week.Gonna use my 770 grain poles and see what i'm gettin out of it.I think we'll be surprised.Thanks Jawge Looks even better now that i got some oil on it. ;)

That idea has been talked about quite a bit lately, glad to see someone try it out. keep us posted on the performance and durability.

It can be a little tricky to keep from twisting these if you recurve them to much, but the deflex helps solve the problem.
