Ok, here's my dilema. The bow came in a little light. 62" 49 @ 28. I was shooting for 55. Should i cut 1.5 inches off the tips? If i do, how much more weight would i get? How short could i make it before it wouldnt take being drawn to 28"?

That's already plenty short. Generally speaking you gain 1-3# per inch you remove. But, removing length usually means some scraping to tidy up the tiller, which will get rid of a good bit you gained. Id be happy with it and start another if 55# is your ultimate goal.

That should fit me just fine.

Yeah i didn't know if it was more trouble than its worth. Sounds like it is.

Yes... enjoy it and make a new one... you did what looks like a good job so it's best to leave it alone.

You don't have a dilemma, you have one of many bows.

If you have a good one it doesn't matter what poundage, just make another a little heavier.....Great job.

I'm still trying for my first one.....Ron

Coming in weight comes with building bows, the more you build and tiller them the easier it gets!

Thanks everyone. Yeah it came out pretty good. Nothing wrong with building another. Lol

You better make another one n give me that one

You dont want that bow. Tips didn't come out right...

The handle is ugly...

And it's bent the wrong way when its unstrung. :-)
