The problem with piking is that it puts more strain on the bow which can lead to increased set or a broken bow. Pike the ends by cutting an inch off the end of he bow and recutting the nocks. Heat treat the belly which may give my 5-10# in draw weight, though I will have to retiller.
If I put the bow on the scale and it comes in under weight like 20# at 24", no amount of drawing will it reach my intended weight at 28" especially if I have to watch for tillering imperfections while doing it. What I want to do now is scrape the belly of the bow until it is pulling 45# at 25, 26, 27, then 28" of draw while checking the tiller each time. I pull it on my tillering tree and it weighs 45# at 24". So if you have a bow that's bending evenly all around but it's too heavy, you remove material to lighten it.įor example: I want my bow to be 45# at 28" of draw. You can only reduce weight by removing material.
