Re: Recurve build

Got some shaping done on the bow. Still got work to do to finish it, but it's getting close. Strings tracking dead center on the limbs now. Braced @ 7.5" in the pic. Originally wanted a 56" copy of the Kmag, ended up @ 52". Tiller came out dead even. Went ahead and shot it yesterday a...

Re: Look what happened to my K-mag!

That's gut wrenching. Especially with the sentimental aspect to the bow.

There's just something about those Kmags. Sweet little bows, highly underrated, IMO

Re: Recurve build

Well, looks like it's a big fat goose egg. Looks like the fade out busted and slipped under the glass when it was under pressure I guess. Not going to be shot like that. Guess I've got a nice looking paperweight. Dang it!

Re: Recurve build

He draws about 21", was shooting for 30lb @ 28" for him. It's quite the process. One key thing is being able to sand material dead flat and dead on 90°. I'm using a cheap home depot edge/ spindle sander. Absolutely required for laminated bow building

Recurve build

Hey everyone, been awhile since I've posted. Life's been pretty busy lately. Kids, work, etc, etc. Anyways, been working on a recurve for my son, my first. The inspiration was a mix between a Kodiak magnum and a Kodiak Hunter, only in a 56" variation. The form took quite awhile to get dialed in...

Re: Fun with broadheads

Cool stuff. Wonder how a regular 2 blade COC head would stack up? Funny though, how these new style BHs rely on soo much force to even penetrate the hide. Like Clay said, wonder why more compound shooters don't shoot old school COC heads? My guess is they've got soo much speed, it'd be almost imposs...

Re: Kmag

I draw 29.5" as well, Kirk. I haven't felt any pinch myself. I love this thing, may have to pick up another one for backup.
