Checks and Balances-A bow build

[Linc]

Well I putz'd around this morning till company came and went out to dinner afterwards.Got home and strung her up.She's starting to come around.
 
 
Here she is turned around.
 

Finally got rid of the hinge.In the first pic  the left limb is the snakey limb and the right has all the woopdy-doos and the side to side wave. The snakey limb is bending pretty good other than the outside 1/3rd being stiff.The other limb just doesn't want to form a good arch but it shoots pretty good.Some hand shock but I still have to take some weight off the last 6" to the tips.

Oh yeah, That bow is looking alot better, way to go Linc.  

[Linc]

Thanks buddy. Not much else had worked,so I used a heatgun and told it what it was going to do.Guess it worked.       I've drawn it a little over 100 times and it's still holding true.It even springs back when unstrung with almost no follow.      :eek:   A little more scraping and tweeking.

[Timo]

Linc, you've come a long way on that one for sure.It's looking mucho better!

 

[Linc]

Thanks Timo. It's not so much a problem with the bow,it is more a problem with me.Last few weeks I haven't been myself.  :(  Can't seem to do much of anything and have it come out right.I hope to be on the road to recovery.  

[cjones]

Buddy that thing is lookin alot better. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

[Linc]

Thanks buddy.Some of my problems have cleared up to where I got a decent night sleep but still no ambission.  :(

[AZStickman]

WoW Linc.... You've come quite a ways with that stick.....Way to go....... BTW your Rabbit Fur, of unknown origin   :D  , Bow sock got a lot of compliments on the javie hunt.....Thank You again for your generosity.... Terry

[Hun]

Character bow yea! Your character went into this and saved it.

[Linc]

Terry,I'm glad you liked it and I hope it served you well.

Thanks Terry and Hun. When I get some time after work I'll be doing some more tweeking on it.Hope I can get it to come around some more.I think it will when I start thinning down the last several inches to the tips on the right limb and the outer 1/3rd of the left limb.(I hope}    

[Walkingstick]

Terry, that's not rabbit fur     ...it's poofy stuff around this camp   :D   ...Linc can fill you in...Mac~

[George Tsoukalas]

Lookin' good, Linc. Jawge

[cjones]

Thats right, Mac. Poofy stuff from the "Poofmiester"  

[Linc]

Funny you guys talkin poof,Cuz this bow will be getting the poof treatment.  

[cjones]

Buddy, them poofy socks ya make are dang nice. The way Ferret and I rabbit hunt, it would take a long, long time to get enough for a sock! It would take us years to get enough for string silencers. It's all his fault though because my dogs don't like him and run off everytime we go hunting.

[Walkingstick]

Chad maybe it is just the rabbits that run from the ferret. Rabbits and ferrets are not bosom buddies...Mac~

[Linc]

Chad,If I had to use rabbit pelts from my hunting prowess?Well I wouldn't even have made one silencer yet.  

[LeeNY]

Sir Linc of Poofymiester, Think your next bow should be backed with sinew and poofy stuff!!    :D    :D

[Sparky]

Cool Linc...ya done good buddy. Can't wait to see the "poofy stuff"  
 Looks like yer on the down hill stretch...

[Linc]

Thanks buddies.I keep getting all kinds of poofy ideas.    

I think a few of my ideas will surprise you.I know it will me.
