Where did you get those rubber feet? All I've got with mine were tennis balls that constantly come off.

Sure thing. After I posted those pictures and looked back at them I couldn't help but notice how perfectly your pack fits in and fills that space on the back of the seat. I don't think I could find anything that would fit better.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised I could go that short!  I was going to be happy if I could get down to 64".  Those plans look pretty intriguing and quite possibly just what I'm looking for.
I'd like to stick with 60lbs as that's what I have now and hopefully I can keep shooting my current set of arrows.  We do have some pretty big pigs here, 300 lbs or so, and I'd like to have a bit more thump if shooting one of those guys.

Thanks,

Its early Kirk, Can we play nice for a little bit?

That was 2 years ago, between the two of you, and there's only three of us participating this year and we are all excited so lets keep it started on a good note.

I kind of got hosed down last year receiving a weird looking self bow from moon catcher that was all out of whack. I sent it back as unacceptable, but never did receive a replacement. I told him to find someone else that might appreciate his so called. " character" bow. I've seen him produce some nice looking self bows, but the one he sent me was a joke.

Just saw a nice one sell at the United Bowhunters of Missouri banquet with two sets of limbs and the carved riser for only $675

Last post by Kirkll - Today at 11:40:21 AM
None of those things you mentioned would be a factor. It didn't crack along the lamination line. My questions would be where it is being stored, and what type of heat  you have where it's being stored. What part of the country do you live in and what is the average humidity level.

Most of the issues I've seen has more to do with drastic humidity changes that effect expansion and contraction of different types of material. Building bows in Oregon, and sending them to dry climates like Nevada , Utah, NM, AZ etc...etc.. I have to climatize the materials and make damn sure the MC levels are extremely low before finishing the bows, or I can end up with cracks to repair.  Where I typically have issues is using G-10 I beams and not getting the wood dry enough before laminating it.      Food for thought.
