Title: New recurve design
Post by: Horn Chaser on February 08, 2016, 06:27:00 PM

Here are some pics of a new recurve I designed. It is 58" 45#'s @ 28". The riser is Koa and Macassar Ebony. The veneers are from Troy and are Birdseye Maple and Walnut crotch. I used actionboo for the core wood. Here are a few pics I will try and get some better pics when the wind decides to die down some.

those hooks look wild, would like to see a strung profile, and drawn shot.

The last pic is a strung pic Bigbob. I will get you a full draw pic when I meet up with Chackworth tomorrow and we play with it some.

Looks real nice and with that design it going to be pretty snappy.  Kinda resembles a sheepeater

Here you go Bigbob. Sorry I couldn't get a prettier model for you. Chackworth was all I could afford to pay to model the bow.   :knothead:  
We tested the bow through a chrono and were getting an average reading of 173 fps on a 10 gpp arrow.

I would say 10.5 gpp at my 26" draw. You still owe me that 6 pack btw...   :D
