Just wondering how much draw weight I can expect to gain from 2 or 3 layers of sinew? That way I can try to get close to my target weight.
Thanks in advance!

In my experience, it's usually somewhere around 10-20%.

Are you going to add reflex when you put the sinew on??

I wasn't planning on it, but maybe a little

Probably about 7-10 lbs. I would definately pull it into a slight reflex while drying
