"Wassaw" gen II prototype finished!

[Apex Predator]

Here is the second generation "Wassaw"  I'm getting close to having this new model tweaked like I want it.  I think this one is much improved over the first.

She is 61" nock-nock, and draws 52@28.  Grey action wood riser and limb cores.  She has black glass and yellow heart accents, which should retain the yellow color.  I'm gonna shoot this one a while!

Opinions wecome!  I know this style bow doesn't appeal to everyone, but she sure is a good shooter!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

That is sweet looking.. I like the handle and the color. Is there a way I could try it?

[ChuckC]

Looks nice.. and if it a good shooter then it worked !

Wondering out loud.  With that style handle, it leaves a great big brace height. At least judging by pix. That cuts down on your power stroke.  

Have you tried lengthening the string by maybe an inch to allow the limbs to be a bit less loaded or even better, adjusting the limb attachment angles out a bit to keep that string closer to the limbs ?  I wonder if that might give you even a bit more push than you are getting now ?

Anyway. .  good job !

I haven't shot it much yet, but it seems to like an 8.5" brace height.  I haven't even twisted up a proper string for her yet.  This one is too short and braces her at 9".  I'll share in my performance testing with you guys.  I'm expecting low 180s at 10 gpp and drawing to 28", even with the higher brace.  That's going by the 182 I was getting with the Gen I.  That's pretty fast with fingers!

[rastaman]

i like it!

The profile looks like the limbs from the old Bears, kinda semi recurve. I like the bow, would love to shoot it. Let us know how she perfoms. Are you going to make it part of your line up???

[Apex Predator]

Ron, when I get her dialed in I will.

[maxwell]

Very nice looking bow.

[Over&Under]

Looking great Apex!  I think the limb profile is coming together.  The yellow accents really touch it off!

[Steelhead]

Very nice Marty.Love the grip.Looks dangerous just sitting thier.Looks like a fine hunting bow!

Nice profle!

[Apex Predator]

Yeah Eric, I think I'm gonna have to keep this one locked up when I'm not home!

[BWD]

Like I said before, thru the years, I have seen some things that didn't appeal to everyone, but performed well in all positions.

[Kenneth]

Great looking bow Marty!!            I love the wood and color combo!  Looking forward to the shooting report.

[Kapellmeister]

Looks pretty "innovative" there, Marty!      

I don't know, though... doesn't look enough like a selfbow for me (but I've got real old-fashioned taste)!          :D

Yaa keep it locked up Marty.Looks like a hound itching to get out out of his pen and go hunting at the drop of a hat.

Those piggies must be getting nervous down thier.They should be knowing you!

[CHAD]

I like it.With a 8.5" brace i bet she's easy to shoot.

Ole bentpole wouldn't mind givin' that Baby a whirl either!!!            Grey Actionwood and Black Glass just like Peanut Butter and Jelly!  

[SteveL]

Wow! very nice indeed. Keep us posted on when it might be available.

Marty, I like that one much better and think you are on to a great bow there! Once you get her perfected, we might be doing some talking.   :D
