Thanks everyone! The rings are about 1/8 inch or so on this one. I have been having bad luck with tip overlays so I decided to see how small I could go on these tips without them. I got these as small as I would with overlays and have shot this bow a lot already and had no problems yet.

love the bow alan. Currently in the process of making a black locust bow myself. Was looking to build about the same length and around 50 lbs. When spliting my stave from the log it got a little thin in depth. I was wandering if you could post how thick your limbs are to see if I have enough to make the weight at that lenght or if I will have to shorten and widen the bow to get to 50 lbs before I get to far into shapeing and scraping.
