Just got my new BBO tri-lam from unca Roy.
shes a beauty all right. 68" to match my 31.5" draw. and as smooth as butter on a warm day.
The tiller looks absolutely perfect, couldn't ask for any better!!
My hunting bow this year from June 1 to end Feb :D
going to be absolutely awesome.
now to build some new arrows for it.
maybe Roy can help with a pic of it!! I still cant work this darn imgur junk!!! :mad:
-
I saw that bow, it is awesome.
-
If Roy built it, I’m sure it is great. :thumbsup:
Or at least alright. Lol
-
It'll slip into your beer stash when yer not looking.
-
Don't worry itll only take the crappy beer.
-
I can load one of the pictures Wayne sent, but not the other one. LOL

Beautiful spot!
-
Nice bow and what a nice place to shoot it!
And I can see the wood fibers screaming for mercy with that long draw.
-
Looks Good!Great place to shoot her in!
-
And forgot to give Roy some credit. I wouldn't dare pull a wood bow that far. It takes some serious talent to make a bow like that. :notworthy:
-
Looking good
-
Looks good fellas. Nice view too.
-
awesome bow, really excited to get some blacktail with it this year- we get 15 tags a year.
so how does the saying go, ' Even a blind pig gets an acorn" ??? or something like that!!
yup thats the view from my front door :)
we live in a neat place
but then, so do many other folks too! :)
-
just as well Roy, the other pic was indicative of my enthusiasm, might getcha banned!!
would be your turn!! :laughing: :laughing:
-
Banned?
More like arrested.
LOL
Ya shoot it today?
Chrono?
Ya like it?
-
hate to use the cliche' but she hits right where i am looking, first two shots out of it, "stumping" on my front lawn, at 15 yards were right on the money!!
sent you some new,... er normal pics Roy. put them up here please mate! :D
didnt chrono it but seems to have the same point of impact as my glass kenny m bows, with the same arrows.
i will bareshaft and build a set of arrows for it specifically.
couldnt be happier :bigsmyl:
this bow will make groceries for shuwa!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

nice lookin arrows too.
-
I guess they are ok.. :)
Wayne, why are the feathers so far away from the arrow nock?
-
Saw that too..
Figured it was something to do an anchor point or keeping them away from a face mask.
...or...I have placed my fletch so that the tip of the feather is next to the shelf at brace....automatic brace height checker...lol
Ok darnit....Why are they so far forward Fujimo?
-
Might be because he anchors further back on his jaw?

hey fellas,
i use the shooting system as promoted by Rick Welch.
as a young shooter in South Africa, with no one to help me, i was plagued with crappy form and release.
moving to Canada, i received so much help, but getting a consistent draw length, proper back tension and a decent release, really evaded me.
when i found Ricks system, it was like night and day.
his method uses a double anchor system.
first thumb knuckle at back of jaw bone, bone on bone, then tip the head forward slightly, and your nose touches the cock feather( left wing if you shoot right handed- as the feather tips upwards.)- this is the key to the back tension.
I have noticed that i can come to full draw, and have my nose still an inch from the fletch, but just by engaging my back and bringing my elbow around, it all lines up.
exactly same anchor, exactly the same measured back tension every time.
its like making sure you have your rifle rounds loaded with the exactly the same amt. of powder every time.
my accuracy and consistency immediately improved.
tghis was something i learned the hard way, short drawing or overdrawing, not only effects your elevation on your shots, but it also effects the windage.
short draw by an inch- you in effect are now shooting arrows that are a whole spine group overspined( changed your drawlength) and then that affects flight characteristics and Point Of Impact.
it works for me, those two shots were the first 2 shots i have shot in almost a year- i hurt my shoulder, and at 15 yards and they are like i shot a hundred arrows everyday for the last year.
i am NOT the worlds best shooter, so i need all the help i can get. this helps me a bunch!! :)
or maybe its just a testament to an awesome bow. :D
so yup the feathers are further forward, to facilitate the anchoring system.
and so consequently went to shooting 4" fletches so that they dont interfere with the riser.
Zrad, another way i have seen to mark the brace height is with a special band in the cresting.
-
Interesting..
Thanks for the info Fuji
:thumbsup:

Fujimo, how long would you say you hold at more or less full draw?
I get antsy after about a second. Partly because I'm scared my wood bow will blow up.
-
I'll be checking out the video
-
I have my own shooting system..

kinda hard shoving arrows into a fresh spot on a target..
...isn't it Roy?
:knothead:
-
Excellent placement Roy...hand placement that is.
-
with my self bows, and glass bows i hold for the full 2 seconds, but it's more subconscious now- i dont count or anything.
just a feel nowdays
