Thanks to Half Eye
« on: February 25, 2013, 10:21:28 pm »
Built this bendy about a week or so ago with the help of half eye. Thanks buddy.
44" ntn
#28@21  I'm pulling 22" in the picture
1 1/8" widest to 5/8" @ nocks
For 28lbs it will really whistle an arrow.

Well I wasn't going to post this Rich but I wanted to put a thank you out there.
You remember what this stick looked like starting out.
The shadow throws off the tiller on the draw picture and there is just alittle set in the top limb
but it doesn't effect the shooting.

Nice Job!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Great job, Don. That one definitely has a Half Eye curve to it. He has a tendency to rub off on folks. ;)

Nice one Don...How's the arrow flight working out for you guys with short draw and short bows? I wanna make one for hunting. Got a piece of sage that's not thick enough for a stiff handle and thought I would make a bendy out of it...

Hmmm... The bottom limb has a nice even bend but the top limb looks a bit hingy in two spots and flat through midlimb. Anybody else seeing that?

From the arrow pass (or top of the handle wrap at least)  it angles back and then has a sharper bend near the tip. At least that's what I'm seeing.
