Yup I have one of those banana bows, 4" of string follow. Shoots about as fast a banana too ;D
I'm gonna use it for bow fishing so I won't worry if it gets dunked and I can use it for a wading stick also so its not completely useless.

they do fine,but 5 in. of string follow,that is another story. :)

Thanks Pappy, you know what I mean. ;D
Mark, most don't start with 10" of reflex, so that one was an exception to the rule to begin with. ;D Justin

Here's what I think....the spiritual side of bowmaking should be left to the maker, but others might, and some do, rely on the testing of the bows to find whether or not the bow shoots the way it is supposed to. But as said by Squirrel, if the bow shoots well enough for you, and you like the feel of it, the extra set or whatever it is should not be given another thought. All of the bows I used to make had at least 3" of set, if not more. And they shot good enough for me at the time, but they were slower than those I make now, because the set has been reduced a lot.

Pappy:
I agree Sean,mine also but you don't do it intentional,I think that was the point not to tell beginning bowyers to do it on purpose,if you just start or don't know any better you will figure it out in time but when you do know better and don't pass it on that is where I have a problem.
I don't have a problem with the spiritual side of anyone,to each there own.I know what I believe
and they can do the same. :)
