Sorry for the delay on finished photos Yves.... I'll have them for you today/evening.... I'm doing the testing this evening and will get some high speed video on the limbs for you too...  

The two sets of limbs came out 50.55# & 50.58# @ 27". I've got an identical set of XX carbon Foam core I'll be comparing.

Congrats on a mighty fine looking bow.

Greetings from another European bowhunter.

It is not the first one, there is already one in Germany. I hope to test-drive it soon
Title: Re: Bigfoot in France
Post by: Doc Nock on July 17, 2013, 08:42:00 AM
Good to see you posting, AD!

Careful about test-driving one... you might have to sell some of your electronic toys or Kefir grains and place an order!

Them babies got some nice cast for those long shots of yours!

I have the twin riser to it except mine has Blood Wood accents.

You're going to be very happy with the bow's performance and nice manners.

Average 2.5 lb per inch of draw, 85.89 % efficient at 9gpp. 192 at 27 with 9gpp.

Pretty good stats there. Awsome in fact.

you know something... i think that 17" draw reading is off a bit. there is no bump in the draw like that... i need to get the draw weight pc interface hooked right into my shooting machine one of these days..... In my "Spare time"...right....   :p

here is the DFC on the foam core limbs.... These limbs are noticeably smoother drawing, but the chart doesn't show all that much difference.... The foam has a noticeably higher pitch sound to them vs the wood cores though. The Vertical limb stability is much higher in the wood cores.

You LB limbs (maple core/ xx carbon) or (foam core / xx carbon)

Thanks

It is impressive isn't it. I can't help but wonder if the RC limbs test the same, including the vertical stability?
Title: Re: Bigfoot in France
Post by: Piratkey on August 05, 2013, 06:20:00 AM
The bow is at home,whaou,it's really a very nice bow,the macassar ebony wood riser is beautiful and the zebrawood veneers too.
How about the shoot ??
Oh, about speed,I shoot it side by side with my Border Black Douglas hex6 h bb2  with the same arrows (I dont have chrono) I cannot tell you wich one is more fast,incredible.
About noise??
the bow come with a D97 string (10 strands) and catwiskers,with 7,5" brace height,the bow is ready to go hunting.
The vertical limbs stability is very good.
The bow is very easy to draw,the last inch is more strong but this is normal.
Bow stability??
the bow is heavy (2;3#) thanks to the macassar ebony wood/G10
in the riser,after the shoot the bow is dead in hand,zero vibration,nothing,nada,impressed.

Thanks Kirk

Quite a statement and testimonial that any D and R longbow is on par with a Border Hex SixRecurve!!

Really makes you wonder how Kirks New Static SS recurve performs.


God bless, Steve
