Glued up two bows yesterday, one 56" re-curve and one 48" kids longbow. Already had the risers ready to go so this should go fast. Figured my stack for re-curve at .265 using .030 glass, longbow stack at .195 using .040 glass. Somehow these numbers got reversed in my brain.Shaped both bows up this morning and put strings on them, didn't weigh either bow but the kids longbow was probably around 50+@24 and the re-curve was about 25# light. Went inside and had a big glass of tea, now gonna go back in the shop and strip both risers and build two bows (AGAIN) tomorrow.

And you didn't throw anything or break anything?

If we didn't all do this kind of stuff, think how boring life would be. At least, you get to build two more.

This is why ametuer bomb makers seldom gain experience. The devil is in the details.

I put the carbon on the wrong side of a takedown limb last mouth. I think I will do destruction test on it and post the video.
