Re: Houston we have a problem

AAH HA...would the positioning peg in the mould make a difference ?? Me thinks that it would as the curve is a lot closer to the wedge and therefore making the limb flex down nearer to the riser,, ,just a thought as everything else looks OK

Re: Houston we have a problem

Hi Daryl...Greg has made only one bow in recent times ,,cause he was busy helping me,,,,, But he did make a Takedown longbowish same as mine and it broke the top limb after many shots from it same type of fracture.. My stringing technic has never changed and I would assume that if it was a bad techn...

Re: Houston we have a problem

Steve, the tapers are made too fit the poundage of the bow, tapers have been anywhere from 50lb to 70 lb to suit ,not the same tapers Rod,, these bows when they fire have very little hand shock if any and shoot very well until I get a smack in the mouth as the limb fails. wedges are very fine at the...

Re: Houston we have a problem

Hi Rob Ha ha none of my bows are in working order now.. but yes I see what you are getting too. We have looked at the tiller and dismissed it as every thing is right there, still looking at the fadeout area and why it is failing . We have looked at bows that are many years old and cant see much diff...

Re: Houston we have a problem

Length of draw is 28/29in and the fibre glass is 40 and 50 th. Greybeard might be onto something we think,,,, maybe the limbs are loading up too close to the riser on the bow and exerting that much pressure in the fadeout area that it gives out if you follow me. This can be fixed by adding more tape...

Hi Steve...we have not changed the design of the limbs in anyway and the timber is the same as Greg has used for many years and many bows,, Remember it is only happening on the bottom limb
