Title: New adjustable post bow form!
Post by: Apex Predator on May 25, 2008, 07:25:00 PM
I spent most of today designing and building a new bow form.  I needed one that I could adjust the height and location of my deflex and reflex posts.  This is what I came up with.  The tracks were found in a dumpster about a year ago.  When I saw them I knew I would use them for something one day.  I think they are for holding track lights.  They are perfect for this.  The end posts are socketed so that I can just cut different length sections of 2X4 for different degrees of reflex.  I can slide every post around, and slide them off the assembly if needed.  The inner pieces of wood are red oak 1X2s with screw in inserts to accept my 1/4" X 24 bolts.
