Title: Static tip recurve - finally done
Post by: Krasus on December 27, 2015, 12:48:00 PM

I was finally able to finish this one. Lol only started it in Aug.   It's pulling 65 at 28 inch.  Woods are yew under the glass and the riser is yew,ipe,and black limba.   Wanted to say a big thank you to Wayne.  Wouldn't have been able to do this one without his help and his forms and designs.

It's 48 inch long. The static portion of the tips is birch with deer antler as the tip overlays.

Very nice Cody! I believe I own Wayne's first prototype of this bow, and I'm sure you're going to like this one more and more as you get acquainted with it. Great design and great execution!
Watch for limb twist, these are some Wiley ones.

IIRC Wayne chronographed the first one at something like 210fps so you know it should have some cast.

Love it! How does it shoot? Much trouble with it being so short?

Beautiful work. Do the higher arrow speeds have something to do with the static tips?

Being stiff non moving the tips add way more whip to the limb.  Increases fps speeds

I understand. Do they add much noise?

I don't notice any extra noise but I already added beaver balls onto my string.
