Title: ~50#@30" 60" TtT bendy molle you'll never see the draw of
Post by: huisme on February 14, 2015, 08:07:39 pm

Another attempts at bendy R/D, another R/D without enough R compared to D ::) It still holds about a quarter inch of reflex after relaxing but I just didn't bend the outers back far enough-- and I just sent it off so this is all you'll get, and all I have left of it :o

I'll miss it :'(

So wait...you send it off....without showing us the FD?!  That just ain't nice!  Might as well be a wall hanger  ;).  Looks like another good one and nice finish work.  I may have to copy that hemp wrap on the bottom.

 30" draw on a 60" bow with what appears to have appox 10"+ levers. I really would of like to of seen 30 "out of 40" of self bow.

If you keep making bendy handle bows with a handle that's much narrower than the fades your eventually gonna have one break there from the grain runoffs at the fades...especially with that much bend in the handle and fades.  I know cus I learned the hard way. I had one break even tho it had over a thousand arrows thru it. If I have to make one with that much of a narrower handle I wrap the whole handle out to the start of the widest part of the limb.  I wouldn't trust giving that to someone else..especially with a  30" draw.  But that's just me.

I'm actually talking to the guy about getting a full draw from him; I know I'm a stinker for not getting it >:D

Blackhawk, I've been under the impression that giving the handle some deflex like this helps with just that, but it seems funny to me that it would be an issue in the fades if they're bending proportionally where a pyramid bow bending proportionally wouldn't be at exceptional risk of the same failure for the whole length of its limbs.

That'd need some real hooks, but the best overdraw I've done is 25" out of a 46" bow and though it's still shooting fast and furious I wonder how long it'll last.

That's the arrow pass, my current go-to for ambidextrous and bendy bows.
