That is what I have going, but working to correct it......

Ain't this a pretty limb tip?

Now, note the spot where the veneer pulled from the glass....

And here's why...
A friend of a friend of a..well, it was me, was cutting back on glue from what I usually put on.
The bow is a TD an I kept hearing it tick when we were shooting it before finish was applied. Figured it was just the pin or bolt, but bro laid it in his truck and she went off as he turned to shut the back door...

My point? If it's workin, don't change it! Thought I had too much squeeze out, but I'd rather waste a little as have this. These limbs are wasted now.
I think the core lams came apart from tip til they tore a lam, then folded and popped the veneer loose on belly.
Lesson learned, new limb in oven now and another in morning. :rolleyes:
-
I don't think making a new set is really "correcting"!
Sounds more like replacing.
I'm just glad ya weren't at full draw when she turned loose.
That's why I been drawing them about a dozen times on the tree before I shoot them in hand.
-
Heck this one had been shot a couple hundred times
-
Dank :(
-
Hee, hee, hee, haw, haw!

Dadgum... hate that. At least you learned from it. Move forward!!
-
Yup, have her back together soon . I also didn't heat those limbs so this time I mixed 2/1 , used more glue, and heated it !
:laughing:
-
That's ok Kenny you are not alone, had a one piece blow up at full draw today, due to my own rush to shoot it!!!
-
:scared:
That will wake a guy up!! Only had one blow while shooting. It string whipped me on bow arm but no other injury.
-
Dang that is too bad. Hopefully you had some of that tamo ash left for some more veneers.
-
Yep, still have some! Gonna glue up #2 limb(or is that #6 for the twins) in a few !
In my excitement yesterday I mixed the glue and found I hadn't made the wedges! :eek:
No prob tho, whipped out a set of wedges and glued the limb up! :)
-
That sucks. And sometimes there is not a reason you can figure out.If you know though you correct it and move along. Still be gun shy for a while.
:scared:
-
OUCH!
-
Please Let us know what your impression is on the 2/1 ratio!!
I still havnt had any issues with not heating but now you got me gun shy! :laughing:
-
On the 2/1 , the limb I unwrapped this morn seemed like the glue boogers seemed a bit crisper but I heated this one too. You should only change one thing at a time I reckon .
Glued the second one up this morn too.
-
I think you will be fine.
-
Rookies. LOL

Nuff outta you Mr. grass and sticks.... :D

Purty veneers.

Looking good Kenny!
-
Got finish on these ones yet?
-
No, been busy . Put tip overlays on and profiled em tonight after work. Will get nocks cut in and start on tiller if needed next.
-
looking good kenny
-
Got her profiled,tillered , and at 51.5# . Now to send her home with him to shoot some more before finishing to see if the grip is exactly what he wants....
John said his arrows were very slightly stiff and he didn't want to work on the strike plate area, so I tried to keep weight up a little. Managed a pound. Not sure if that is enough.
If not I will shave the strike plate, got plenty there....
