Bogaman  have you seen the old commercial with the hard hat and super glue :P
Reduce the mass at the tips, everything on that side of the tips is wasted speed
It only has to hold less than half the bow poundage  ;)


Ohma2   YES

Thanks Guy's

Beautiful work. I like that you did not butcher in a shelf. Is a full-draw photo coming?

As for the tips, the part beyond the string nock is less important than you said--it does NOTHING except keep you from missing the nock when bracing the bow. On the other hand, there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to lightening the tips. Your probably looking  a variation of less than one fps from lightest possible tips to heaviest average tips.

Again, very nice work.

Jim

Looks good.....but I always kinda freak out and it looks weird when someone drawing a bow for a pic is looking at the camera as well....

 The lighter tips may not equate to a great difference in speed, but every little bit help reduce hand shock to make a sweeter shooting bow. Especially on the lighter weight /longer draw bows.


Nice looking bow ,Mad Max.

I try to reduce out to 6" from the nock and more
