Title: Finished one more BBO for the weekend(Full draw pic added)
Post by: Buck Buckley on May 26, 2008, 09:20:00 PM
Finished one more up today. Dont build to many long ones. This one was 68" ntn. I was shooting for 55 to 60lbs came in at 46lbs. This was'nt a tri-lam and forgot how thick i had to make my belly. started it a 7/16 before I tapered it. Should of been 1/2". That oneis in the works. This was my last piece of Bacote, no leather handle going to cover this one up, she's to purdy. It really shoots for 46#, post some pics in the morning of it braced and full draw grabed the wrong string when I left the shop.

AWesome work! And don't worry about the poundage. At #46 is still legal in NY. I'll take it off your hands.     :bigsmyl:

Good job Buck.  How close to center did you cut the riser?

Buck,
Thanks. I thought it looked close to center. I would assume arrow spine is less critical because of that.
