Will be a 3 piece with hard maple riser laminated from 1/4” slices of flat grain from a really heavy board .
Gonna go with .0025” per inch taper and some streaky glass I put back from orders .
64” again but with a tip wedge 6” inside nocks of .060 to 0 instead of the super lam .
Here’s the start of her...

Just refreshed my browser. I thought I had ended up on a Martha Stewart site by accident. :biglaugh:
Post by: kennym on February 05, 2022, 08:04:10 PM
I cut the pads to 12 degrees today , one was not zackly square with side of riser so hit it on the 6x80 a little til it was right
Then pulled out a self centering jig that I’ve had awhile and messed with it a bit
Got it drilling in center of a scrap block and drilled one end of riser perfectly!! Man this is great I thought.
Second end not quite perfect so I’m wondering if when I glued and clamped the 6 pcs of maple, I put different pressure on back and belly of riser or something.
I think it will work tho

Notice the dots on lam edge for nock and 6” in for wedge
Then just apply glue and fold back on lam , tape holds wedge in place and acts as a hinge...
Just make the wedge plenty long and cut to get feathered end where you want it.

Limbs mounted
Riser roughed in
Had to shoot it, seemed pretty good so I checked speed just for giggles.
47@28
Spare string off my hunting bow, one set of wool puffs, 2 tied on string nocks.
523 grain (11.12 gpp) 176 FPS
519 grain (11.04 gpp) 179 FPS
472 grain (10.06 gpp) 184 FPS
423 grain (9.00 gpp) 192 FPS
This was off a shooter, so prob deduct 4-5 for fingers
I'll take it tho!! :thumbsup: :)

And deduct another 2-3 for a tight nock...
And another 2-4 for wrong spine...
And another 2-4 for bad form...
And another 1-2 just because...
That brings you down to about 167 to 169 FPS...
That bow sounds a little slow to me... You better start over... :laughing: :laughing:
You better off just saying that you used a shooting machine and leave it at that... :)
Post by: Crooked Stic on February 18, 2022, 04:52:30 PM
That 10 gen. Speed pretty good.
Post by: kennym on February 18, 2022, 05:46:27 PM
And add another 2-3 for a properly fitted nock...
And add another 2-4 for right spine...
And add another 2-4 for my precise form...
And add another 1-2 just because...
:laughing: :laughing:
These arrows weren't tuned at all, just stuff I had to get weight close.
Mike I'll shoot some pics tomorrow . Maybe even a full draw... :biglaugh:
Oh, I'll be hunting with the 11+ grain ones, so I'm not too concerned with the speed anyway...
Now to shoot her for a bit and be sure the grip suits me completely before I
paint her... :thumbsup:

A lot of reflex also can also result in Handshock and nervous Shooting.
