Man Roy, that's some good looking bow material you got there!! Should turn out beautiful!!

Back to huntin tomorrow but gonna be real windy in a day or two, so should finish tiller and tips and possibly speed check against the original limbs. Think its gonna be a few lbs. lighter but we can get the general idea...

So Kenny how did those new limbs do??

kennym · January 12, 2020, 03:54:16 PM

Not done yet, don't wanna take my hunting limbs off my riser...

Crooked Stic · January 12, 2020, 04:43:47 PM

alrighty then

kennym · January 12, 2020, 08:10:30 PM

As soon as my buddy's bow is done... and bow season is over...

Carpdaddy · January 17, 2020, 05:24:35 PM

Oh just send them to me and I'll put them on my riser.

kennym · January 17, 2020, 05:29:27 PM

Actually started cleaning up the overlays today! LOL

Working on this project today, tillered out at 48@28, think that's what my other limbs are also so will be a good comparison test .

That's a sweet looking brace profile with the exstra reflex

Gonna run some chrono numbers in a bit

Forwardhandle · January 19, 2020, 12:38:57 PM

On your FD profile it looks like your limbs working all the way up and still holding the string angle bet that bow shoots great with heavy arrows I like it

kennym · January 19, 2020, 01:23:30 PM

Thanks Ritchie!

Here are the chrony numbers for both sets of limbs...

64" TD longbow

Original limbs with .003 total taper including superlam and 1" less reflex

48.09# @ 28" with a 531 grain arrow (my hunting arrow) 11.04 GPP -- 173 FPS

New limbs with .002 taper , no superlam but with 1" more reflex

48.00 @ 28" with same 531 grn arrow 11.06 GPP -- 177 FPS

NOTES:

New limbs have no finish sprayed on them
New limbs have wider tips
Shot off shooting machine
First impression is new limbs are a bit quieter

kennym · January 19, 2020, 01:27:04 PM

BTW here is the strung profile in the original...

Very nice looks like you hit the sweet spot on those Kenny I'm in ,looks like you could easily get a few more inches of draw on the 64" , I'm going to try one in spring , got busier this winter then in the last decade ! No time for bows !

Crooked Stic · January 19, 2020, 02:12:18 PM

Not too bad a gain there Kenny. Every little bit helps---optimizing

Betting with .002 taper and include the superlam even a bit more.

Bvas · January 19, 2020, 04:27:54 PM

Looking good Kenny!

How far are the string grooves in front of the handle on those new limbs?

Autumnarcher · January 19, 2020, 06:41:19 PM
