I noticed your arrows, and it made me realize what a perfect stumpin' bow that would be! I imagine that would be perfect for roving in the forest smacking old stumps and pinecones. Great video as usual.👍

[@meadowlarkadventuregear]

Yes! This set up wood be perfect for roving the woods - and taking out unsuspecting tree parts! Lol! Thank you for watching, and for the comment!

[@Helmbowman]

Im glad that epoxy works well for you! Beautiful bow!

[@meadowlarkadventuregear]

Thank you!

Love your work! Didn't see the takedown coming. ?Does the tenon angle matter and also the direction?

[@meadowlarkadventuregear]

I can't imagine that the direction of the angle would make that much difference since there is going to be bearing on the sleeve each direction depending on top or bottom limb. As for the angle, I'm not sure how big a factor it plays, On the extreme, it would seem that that longer the lap joint, the more it would distribute the stress along the length of the wrap. From a practical standpoint, I'm pretty confident that the fiberglass wrap is plenty strong enough to stand up to even a butt joint like a metal sleeved take-down.

@@meadowlarkadventuregear Thank you!!!

[@clee5653]

Looking good! Can this type of handle have an arrow shelf?

[@meadowlarkadventuregear]

Thank you for watching! You should be able to integrate any style of arrow shelf you like with this handle design.

[@knolltop314]

Feels mighty good when "experiments" work as hoped. Congrats! What was used as "mold release"? Wrap strips are fiberglass??

[@meadowlarkadventuregear]

Thank you Michael! I appreciate the continued support!

[@timdefelice2570]

How do you keep the wrap from sticking to both sides?

[@meadowlarkadventuregear]

One side (the tenon side) is coated with Vaseline to prevent any adhesion with the epoxy.
