Welcome bowyers to Walk-the-Talk 4

Its good to hear the positive feedback here. When Steve says we "modern" bowyers respect the "primitive" bowyers, he is absolutely right. We would love to mix it up with you guys. We will test each bow on a stationery shooting machine with a string release and chrono setup. I will take photos of each bow...unstrung, braced, and full draw...plus create a FD curve, and post them on the piratesofarchery.net website after the event. I find it very useful to compare these photos and curves. As you know, it is not just about speed...but the machine testing and hand shooting testing is showing us that the fastest bows are also the best shooting bows. So if you send in a bow these are a few of the things you can expect to receive in return. Jim

I have been trying to tell people that for years.  Perhaps I will try and get a bow out there this year as well

 What about bows that are built for a specific draw length? Example I have a yew bow that I just built and believe it to be one of the best shooters that I've made. However it is built for my 24" draw length and I don't want to subject it to the tortures of a 28" draw. It is only 60" tip to tip. Are you going to do any specific category testing. 
  This has been on my mind for a while as I have a short draw compared to most bowyers and I also build bows for others at a specific draw length. I tiller to one inch over the intended draw  for safety.
