Re: Limb bolts
Kart shops......sometimes lawmower shops have also....the pressure washers and the bolts.....you just need to source the inserts to attach the limbs to the riser....

Re: New Hunting bow "The BoSS"
Fantastic bow , beautiful job.
And I am a recurve shooter.
Is Sheoak a hard wood ?
I would think of it as a mid strength type of wood , not that strong for a single piece riser for a bow that heavy...
I may be wrong , I don't know much about wood properties , I always laminate my risers.

Re: Banksia bow failure
Did you glued the riser with epoxy ?
And how heavy (poundage) was this bow ?
Haven't see this happen , never , not this way...

Re: Bamboo backed Degame [lemonwood]
Hi Daryl
Nice bow as always.
Where are you getting your wood from ?
With Lazarides closing doors It's been hard to get some decent wood or veneers here on the north side.

Re: Laminated Bow info.
Donald Assenheimer makes recurves using 3 parallel core laminations and 0.040 glass only.
No taper at all.
Great bows.

Great looking recurve Rod.
Looks like three core laminations in that stack , or am I wrong ?
How does it feels to tiler a recurve ?
That's a fantastic job.

Re: Happy Birthday Curvemeister !!!
would be good to see some footage
If you are shooting the bow on a regular basis , I would keep it strung all the time.
Not good practice , specially with radical limbs like those ones.
Good shooting.

Re: That is a lot of Deer.
Jindy I am not opposed to hunting with the purpose of one feeding himself. I don't like the idea of killing 1,2 or 3 species that were brought here from another continent were they were totally aclimatised and confortable , because they have to feed themselves.
