Title: BP - Jet Bow
Post by: burch on September 10, 2011, 04:02:00 PM
My buddy found this one and wanted to set it up for his kid to shoot. I was a little concerned about what looks like stress cracks on the riser.
We took a sewing needle and poked it in the cracks and just the very tip of the needle went in but it has no string and i`m guessing with it strung up it would open up the cracks more but i`m not sure. This little bow looks like solid glass but i`m not sure about that either. Anyhow, I need some opinions on the cracks and if all is well i`d like to find out more about it - brace height, string length, etc. and any interesting info on it. I measured it from tip to tip and came up with 56"

That bow is all glass and I have a few just like it(the jet bow was my first bow) string it up and you shoot a few, and it should be fine.

Can you tell me what length/type string, brace height etc. ?    Also, when I measured it from tip to tip it was 56" ( complete length of the bow using a cloth tape measure ) but after a little net search i`m reading it was a 54" bow. Am I measuring it right ?
