Flight Bows / Re: Flight Archery Projects
« Last post by Marc St Louis on December 06, 2025, 10:44:16 pm »More pics
That bend profile on those limbs looks a lot like a BL bow I was working on several years ago. I had to abandon it because it was too unstable
I have a question Mark, maybe a couple of questions. What amount of reflex did you finally settle on as being optimum for your designs? By reflex, I mean how far behind the back of the bow were the tips.
The bow I was working on had a deflex handle profile like I normally make them and the tips were set back several inches. Unfortunately I don't have pictures, or if I did I can't find them

BL checked the lowest in hysterisis of all woods as long as it didn't chrysal, it is probably the fastest wood I know of. You could use it in regular flight on friday and then tiller it down to 50 at 28 for broadhead on sunday.
