Traxx,
Guess you don't know the history on that Spline/spine comment. It is obviously a pet peeve of his as well. And he does qoute older texts with the use of spline...although in my opinion how things were spelled in the middle ages is irrelevant especially when you consider that the spelling of english words was subject to the whim of the writer well after the American Revolution.
But I do agree with his statements of perspective. And thanks for that picture of the arrow shooting machine Steve. My Friend Frank and I were just asking each other when that was going to happen...didn't realize it already had.
Traxx:
I apologise,
I should have used the word Correctly,at the end of that second sentence.Are you saying,that if printed in Text,that it must be true?At one time,some printed in Text that the world was flat as well.LOL
People took liberties in their writeing back then as well as today.Just cause someone wants to call an apple an orange,it doesnt make it so.
NTD:
Traxx,
I reread my post and I think I wrote it in a way that might have been easily taken wrong. I didn't mean you didn't know your history, I meant you must know the history of Steve and his issues with Spine/Spline :) sorry if you took it wrong.
Traxx:
No worries Nate,
Its all in Fun most of the time,around here.LOL

I agree use a stringer.It does put exture stress on you top limb.I also build my bows center shot or as close as the stave will let me.The closer to center shot the less critial spine is.As far as weight this is why recurves shoot better at longer distances.Not there better built just the heavyness makes it more stable in the hand.
Isn't getting close the reason we hunt.If not we'd all shoot compounds at 80 yards.
