Right, well I have most of the kinks worked out for this project except for the prod. I'd like 11-12 inch draw and under 100lbs. I was going to make steel prods, but after some chats on this forum and some additional research I've elected not to make them. The Alchem prods cost too much, and are too powerful. I was looking at the 120 lb fiberglass prods, but it looks like the draw is too little. No real big deal there, as I can make the stocks shorter. They are, however too powerful. These are being built by 12 year olds, and they need to be able to hand draw them.
I was wondering about using fiberglass strip like some of you have done, but I don't know the specs. I have in the past used the fiberglass rods that serve as driveway markers, but keeping the ends on always was troublesome.
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance
