Riser is now fit and mounted to the barrel !!
I also cut a slot for the trigger linkage to skate through ,you can see it as a dark spot just left of center .

You're having way too much fun lately to call that work!!! LOL

Well this took a wile , good thing i had a 1hr drive into town to pick up my son from school and think this over .
Took me 1/2 hr to tap out the trigger blade for a shoulder screw .
It was tricky but i got it , i had to make the trigger linkage 2 piece because you can not get the long linkage in as it has to attach to the trigger box when installed .
here it is , keep in mind i need to de bur and clean it all up .

I had the bow set in vise to take a before pic, but after talking with Tim on phone , I was excited & forgot all about pic & got on to taking it apart. Lol. Glad Tim uses Scorpyd bows to express his talents.

Nice work Tim! All your projects are definitely "custom work". Thanks for the pics.

Why move trigger forward?

I was wondering this also. Better to shorten on trigger end than front?

 

[burky247365]

Riser location , i guess i could have moved the riser back and cut the nose of the barrel off , but then the hand guards would be in the wrong place and the cables slide slot would need to be milled .
then i would have to re-attach the foot stirrup .
So for me i think moving the trigger forward and leaving the front end alone from riser forward is the way to go !!
LOL.

 

[GARY W CURTIS]

So I take it it gets a new stock then.

 

[burky247365]

So I take it it gets a new stock then.

Yes !!! a Midnight stock

 

[burky247365]

Man i did not feel like i got much done today !!!
I did however get the rear end built and plugged in the rear of the rail .
Tomorrow i start on the new stock .
Stay tuned !!!! this bow will start to take shape tomorrow .

 

[burky247365]

Going to look similar to this , just shorter !!!

 

[Tnmtns]

Going to be another sweet project!
