I like the looks of that saddle.  Looks way more comfortable than a tree stand.

The Bowyer's Bench / string tracking to one side, o...
Last post by akarrow - Today at 12:53:35 AM
Working on building my first solo recurve. After a few test shots, my string is tracking to the left side of the limb left-of-center toward the same side as the arrow shelf. How to I get my string to track more closely to center-line? Would I do this by filing down the limbtip string grooves more on one side?

Photo included for context and reference, but please keep in mind, the bow is still rough and not in a polished finished state yet, but the photo shows how it's tracking left of center. I haven't filed in the string groove at the limb center yet either.

I'm thinking I can maybe remedy this by filing down the left limbtip string groove more? Not 100% certain though and wanted to check with TradGang first. Thanks in advance.  :)

Also, the limbs appear to be straight, so I don't think it's twisting, it seems more related to the string grooves.

Congratulations!!!

Nicely done!!  What an achievement!  I want to know if there's video.


BTW, I think Steve is a member here but probably not here much if at all.

Did a 3 hour sit this evening, didn't see a thing, but a few crows came by. Very dry here in north Georgia!! Only my second time out this fall. I guess I'm getting old!! Cooler weather is in the forecast so that should help motivate me me I hope.  :campfire:  :coffee:

I used my Windwalker and treehopper pack on Wednesday.  I replaced my original strap with a Lone Wolf strap which makes the stand that much better.  If anyone has a limit for sale I am looking to buy one.

I've made that shot successfully with a compound at short range, lodging in the humerus on the far side.
I'll pass on that shot now but will try and see what kind of penetration I get on a deboned scapula with my setup if I get the opportunity.

Thanks

I saw another picture of Steve today on Sofala's sight with the Buff and bow, it says it was a 68" American, 83 pounds at 26 inches Grizzly broadheads on carbon shafts that weighed 1030 grains.  An absolute amazing feat!!! Can't wait to hear the story on this one.

I have been sending feathers to Josh for several years and he always did a great job.
