bob, not sure if you intend to heat treat your belly (heck, i don't even know if it works with ash) but that's when i induced some reflex into my hickory flat-bow. out of the approx. 5" of reflex it retained 2". i did that when she was tillered to about 20" of draw and finished the tiller after the heat treatment.
Bob S.:
Thank's. I was just wondering if you are better off with some reflex or just going straight.
Dustybaer:
the way i interpret what happened to mine is: without the induced reflex, she would now have some stringfollow. i also think she's a Little snappier because of the reflex.
Bob S.:
Ahhh, I understand. Thank's again.
Bob
Justin Snyder:
By reflexing you are adding more tension to the string early, and it does make the bow a little more snappy. Heat treating does work with ash. Justin
