Title: Another bendy molle, 56" tip to tip, 34#@28"
Post by: huisme on April 07, 2015, 06:12:41 pm

A rather pleasant lady wanted a you-finish bow different than the ones she'd found, usual suspects and whatnot, so I fashioned her a molle. Levers gave me some alignment issues when they dried to a twist but it was nothing a bit of dry heat couldn't fix. Gave the outer limbs just a touch of reflex, two inches, and it's keeping just about one. Lack of camera crew is making a full draw hard to photograph :-[ Two hundred some-odd arrows and she's fast and smooth as butter on a jet plane.

Thanks guys ;D I don't think I'm going to get over the design any time soon, especially considering all I haven't done with it yet.

Forgot to mention the overlays are cocobolo, I'll be sending instructions on sealing everything to be sure she doesn't have gooey tru-oil sitting around for days ;) Levers are ten inches with roughly one inch fades, limbs are about one and three quarter inches across and tempered.
