Title: bamboo/osage/ipe trilam
Post by: Echatham on December 26, 2014, 09:55:00 PM

haven't got alot done lately(or been on the forum for that matter) cause shore duty is over and im back on a boat, but i did screw around and finish a trilam a couple weeks ago.  this is my second attempt at one, and i wish i had spent as much time on the long string as i did makin a purty handle.  tiller ain't perfect and it came in a little light at 40#@29".  it IS pretty quiet and feels good on the shot, but I just don't care much for the cut out shelf cause it changes my aim... so i don't shoot it much... might end up a gift.  averages about 132-133 fps with a 550 gr arrow.

Good looking bow and that is a pretty handle.  Glad to see you back on the forum, Eric.

Nice looking stick, there Eric. Though If I remember rightly, Roy tried pretty hard to convince you not to use cut out shelves. I can't believe he hasn't taken this "told you so " moment to take a shot at you. Must be getting slow in his old age.
