Tillering warbow with reflex
adb:
Pop? Did it break? Lift a splinter?
WillS:
Just a loud pop. I've gone over it in the best light I can find and can't see a single thing that would worry me. No splinters, no cracks nothing. But a noise that like on a bow this heavy is enough to make me wince when I'm stringing it.
adb:
Did the string pop out of the nock?
WillS:
I guess that's possible, yeah. I'll be taking it slow from here, if I decide to carry on.
This lateral curve is a pain in the ass. I have no idea how it's even possible for a bow to do this. The stave was dead straight with no propeller twist or curvature whatsoever, and now it's so bad that the string falls off the side of the handle. I can see how propeller twist might develop as a bow is tillered, but sideways bend?! Doesn't make sense!
adb:
I've had the same issue with trying to tiller heavy bows with reflex.
