Title: 58" Recurve
Post by: Mad Max on June 05, 2015, 03:32:00 PM

58" NTN   31#@28"
Koa belly and Riser overlay
Curly walnut riser and Back

I used the same limb reflex/Radius as my static recurves and changed the last 7" on the tips
The limbs are parallel to the last 7" .004 total taper

That is a very pretty bow!  Kia and curly walnut make a good combo

Nice looking bow, the Koa goes good with the other woods.  I am curious at how the last 7" of parallel helps the performance of the bow, vs tapered?

sorry the last 7" is where the two radius (limb and tip) goes into the recurve and the limbs get narrow to the nock

no hand shock and 31#   305 grain arrow 157/158 fps

did I get that straight ?

Oh, OK Mark, I misunderstood what you meant there.  That is a good fps for such a light bow.
