Title: Attempt at Saint Judes auction bow, questioin
Post by: Hill Hunter on April 27, 2013, 12:39:00 PM
Hey all; I am attempting to make a bow for the Saint Jude's auction, I seem to have miscalculated the stack, I have made the limbs as thin as i dare and still am going to come out just below 65#@28".
My question is, are there enough folks who draw heavy weight, and bid in the auction to put it in?
I can use it as my hunting bow if it is to heavy (glued my hunting bow up at the same time with an extra .050 lam)
it is zebra wood limbs,and wenga, zebra wood and Lignam riser.   :dunno:

That weight is fine, plenty of guys who shoot all of 65#s and plenty more who shoot over that! Shawn

Well here it is, working on the finish, thought I would shoot it in a little first, 3 shots at 30 yds.
will take pics and post in auction when finished.

Nice bow, someone will definitely bid on that. I would if it weren't for my shoulder getting rebuilt twice.
