I call it my "Improved Hill"
« on: August 25, 2015, 06:38:19 pm »
Im as big a fan of straight bows as anybody, love 'em and build a lot. The truth is? A bit of deflex makes a smoother bow. I set out to build a straight reflexed Hill bow, I ended up giving the mids a squeeze with a bar clamp adding, maybe, 1" deflex. The results are a super smooth, efficient rig. I love it.

68" ntn
1" wide
Solid 50# @ 28"
Boo back, paduk core tapered and butt jointed at center, 1/4 sawn yew belly spliced.
the tips are guava, hard as a rock stuff. It's finished in a dead flat spray, ready to hunt. The back is my first attempt at a boo fade job. It was easy and I should have done it before now.

That is really a pretty bow sir!  Are the extra heavy duty tips on there so it can be used as a pry bar if the need should arise?   :o >:D :P

That appeals to me on some level I'm really not sure of. I might try that with a stave. Nice work as always Chris.
