Dang it. Those were looking good too.
You can probable still save that if the glass is ground out too far. It'll just be a short base on the tip but still look decent.
Besides, less tip overlay=faster tips....Trying to look at the bright side :bigsmyl:
you ever thought about dual string grooves?  Saw it once. One for practice and one for hunting switch string and move to lower string grooves and niw you are at hunting poundage.

And the palm side

How are you liking that asymmetrical riser design?  I've been doing it on my rd style but not so far on a longbow.   How long is the riser?

Better speed with a longer riser on a 66'longbow at 28". Shorter working limb. It will  stack at 29" 3# pounds.  Max efficiency and  comfort at 28"

Your 66'' bow starts stacking at 29" ???   That doesn't sound right....

I can get 33" out of a 66" and 31" on a 64" on my long bows ....and... i use a 22" riser fade tip to tip and power lams beyond the fades 4".   :dunno: :dunno:

Got tired of riser glue up being so annoying, so I made some clamps from flat bar and coupling nuts I tapped.  Worked well on the first go. I may re-make the setup with 4 clamps instead of three tho.

Almost finished a nice Bocote ILF Riser.
Will get some SR Limbs at the Weekend.

Thanks Kirk. I'd love some of those rockler mini panel clamps, but they're just so dang expensive. I'm happy with how these came out.
