Title: Carbon lam question
Post by: talkingcabbage on January 08, 2013, 12:09:00 AM
Hey guys.  I've searched all the past posts on carbon limb lam questions and never saw the answer to this question:  How much draw weight does a carbon lam add?  If I'm wanting a 60# bow, do I still stack it like a 60#, or should I stack it like a, say, 45#?  I'm looking at putting it in a one-piece recurve design.

Thanks for the input!

First off the first one will be a crap shoot and build off it. Usally 15-20 percent heavier for me carbon backed.
