Working on a new bow. This is Padauk and brown and black Actionwood. It also has a 1/8" peice of red Phenolic but its hard to see with the Padauk.

You had to go and do it didn't you...   Your Hill bow build in TBM got me into this mess.  Now I suppose I'll have to build Kenny's design.  Thanks a bunch Stacy

Ben you'll love this design its fast but still very easy to shoot!

Title: Re: R/D Kenny bow
Post by: kennym on March 29, 2015, 01:15:00 PM

When designing, I first looked for the easy shooting, the decent speed was a bonus. Tho I'd like to claim to be a rocket scientist bow designer.   :scared:

Thanks, it was an easy way for me to have a two tone riser without having a planer. I could just take the two best sides and glue them together.

Thanks for the additional pictures. Looks nice. Did you stick with Kenny's design exactly or did you modify it a little. Reason I ask is because it looks like it has less R/D then other bows made from Kenny's pattern.

Title: Re: R/D Kenny bow
Post by: Wolftrail on April 01, 2015, 06:23:00 PM

Nice bow, what are the stats..? Or did I miss a post.

Title: Re: R/D Kenny bow
Post by: ny state land on April 01, 2015, 07:08:00 PM

No I stuck to his design. Maybe because its a 62? Its got excellent speed. 52#@28"62" bow. His form is great!

Post by: ny state land on April 01, 2015, 07:10:00 PM

Dave check the unstrung pic on the first page

Title: Re: R/D Kenny bow
Post by: kennym on April 01, 2015, 07:23:00 PM

Stacy, if you left the limbs full width a bit farther to pick up a couple # , the tips are most likely showing less reflex from the usual?

That's my only theory.  :)

Title: Re: R/D Kenny bow
Post by: ny state land on April 01, 2015, 08:17:00 PM

Yes I did what you said and started the taper a little later to grab a couple of pounds. Could be it but it shoots very quick!

Nice looking bow and it sounds like it's a real shooter. Good job!
