Title: New jig for BBO bows, Trilams, and such
Post by: Bowjunkie on January 01, 2016, 03:41:00 PM

I finished working on this jig today and thought I'd post it here in case anyone was interested.

I hope this picture works out.

The bases are routed on the sides to accept any length posts... which are just various length cutoffs of 1x6's.

Jigs can stand solidly on the posts and slide to any position for any length or profile bow, symmetrical or asymmetrical, and any degree of deflex/reflex, semi recurve, full recurve, etc.

Just be sure to leave room under them for clamps.

I was looking at the picture's on my phone.  After looking at it on the desktop, the concept is clarified.  A great universal system.
