Proper handle design for a D bow
Pappy:
The thing I have a problem with when the string lays off to the side a little is arm slap. :) :

DanaM:
Wasn't there an article in PA about building your bow with offset limbs purposely
to reduce archers paradox? I know I saw it somewhere anyhow.
Thanks for the good info all.
Hillbilly:
Seems like every D-bow I've made that the string didn't track down the center of the handle wound up developing a lot of limb twist after awhile.
Coo-wah-chobee:
I craft all my D-bows (thats all I make) so string tracks down center of handle. Dave Kissinger wrote article in ole' PA about offcenter string. I Dont buy into it >:(..............bob
Pat B:
If you use single side nocks on opposite sides of the bow it doesn't matter if there is a slight twist. the string will track across the handle. It is a good way to eliminate a slight twist without removing wood or heating to correct. Pat
