Proper handle design for a D bow
Pat B:
Justin, Wouldn't that add excess stress to one side of each limb and reduce the life of the bow. I know we all think about doing this with every bow but for argument sake ;D what do you think? ;) Pat
Justin Snyder:
Yea Pat, you are probably right, on both counts.
1. Purposefully leaving the limb tips out of alignment is probably contradictory to all our attempts to make a better bow.
2. Bendy handle bows probably don't need to be very wide. Therefore there is no reason to narrow the handle. Justin
Pat B:
Damn, I'm good! ;D Pat
Justin Snyder:
I wonder if PA sells hats in XXXXL. ;D Justin
koan:
I have made 2 bend in the handle bows out of osage, both of them 1 1/8 wide, both 50# give or take a couple #'s. One tracks just a little to arrow rest side the other is right down the center, parodox is much more prevailent on the one that is off center :o???? Sooo, I'm not sure I buy into offcenter thing, but then I've only built a couple....Oh and the center shot smokes arrows off and the other is pretty slow in comparison.....Brian
