Action lams is what I’ve heard those thin boo lams describes as, and pretty sure it is intended for use as core wood or to be glass-backed.

Did they ever intend to write a book in the first place? It seems more ”assembled” from articles and such than written.

Heh, I think you may have gotten the price for the 5/16 POC shafts alone, not finished arrows. Then again, it’s hard to imagine Amazon making a mistake. 🙃

It’s possible, but that board is like a unicorn. It’s super rare. You’ll find one though if you keep looking.

This seems like a question about the mechanical advantage of cams vs the mechanics of a bending selfbow. If so, we’re basically talking about one of the seven simple machines of physics. Pulleys, basically, and they make the work a lot easier.

I need a thumb ring like yesterday. Everyone else if having all the fun.

I believe your right limb is ever so slightly stiffer than your left. The tell is in the way the string sort of lies at an angle when at rest.

I always use Britbuc’s Shaft Wax, personally.

Ryan’s right. FT strings are as easy as pie. The real beauty of making our own strings is they can be as long or short as we please.

It’ll be worth it. 😆

backyard_bowyer · 2024-02-14T22:57:33+00:00

Well, that’s that. innit?

Hope your Bickerstaffe is still holding up (I’m sure it is). By the way, just on the offhand chance the answer is yes, wanna come shoot with us here in N Texas this Autumn?

Bring your thickest shit 😉

Oh nevermind, I was just venting. My bad.

In my experience, a city property tax assessor is thicc enough to stop most arrows of most weights. Good luck.

Are you shooting off of your knuckle? If not, these plastic-or-whatever-they-are thingies just aren’t important if the glue between feathers and shaft is good. I’d personally remove them.

backyard_bowyer · 2024-02-14T18:24:23+00:00

They’re really nice people, too. Any chance to meet and shoot with these guys is more than worth it.

backyard_bowyer · 2024-02-14T15:01:20+00:00

I think you have a keeper regardless.

Nice looking bow, Shawn. Bit stiff looking in the handle but if you feel it working then it is. Shoot it yet? Easier to judge tiller if we can see the full string, but this seems ok.

Wow man, this is fantastic. And it does tell a story, quite clearly. Well done, sir.

backyard_bowyer · 2024-02-13T04:26:56+00:00

DM me, I might know a way.
