Re: Spraying question for bowers

Thanks for the replys.


I don't have enought hight in the booth to have 68" vertical. That is the way I was originally thinking of doing it.


Thanks Rob, that is exactly what I was after. Will make a couple of those up for the next one.

Thanks

Re: longbow #2

OK mate, yes you have a long draw alright. How long is your bow NTN? I use the same rate in the whole stack (4 x 0.0015"/" tapers instead of 3 x 0.002"/" tapers). Cheers...Rod It's about 70" Rod, I haven't actually measured it just kept it as long as posible. Yea I am going...

Re: longbow #2

Nice timber selection Tyler and your joinery looks perfect. Do you have a lot of taper in the limbs or a very long draw length? The full draw pic looks like it could maybe bend a bit more on the inner third of the limb and be a bit stiffer towards the tips. Probably just the camera angle ;-) Great ...

Very nice work Tyler, once the bug has bitten you just keep going and taking the next bow to a new level. The Cambia ash is interesting, is it white ash with the following treatment?

Hi guys, Here are some pictures of the first longbow I have made. I have learnt a lot from this one and next one will be a bit more on the ball.

Re: Curve for a longer draw

Hi little arrow,
sorry the magnum was 52" not the 48". It is the only recurve bow that hasn't stacked on me.
I've shot some of the longer samicks and they still stack up on me.
