Short, Fast and Powerful?

<< < (3/3)

I am totally with trapper here. if your draw is 28 then don't even bother trying to make a 52 selfbow. it will not work!  a bow is made for the drawlenght that the bow allows, not what the shooter usually pulls. I always use th "2.3 rule" so basically if your bow is 66" the you devide 66 with 2,3. the you end up with 28,6.." if your bow is to be 52" the drawlenght is a hinch over 22". with sinew backed ones I devide by 2. and with horn composites by 1,5.
A bow of 25 is faster with 22" draw that with 28" draw.
