Around 1984 I watched a a series of tapes, high speed photography, put out by Easton arrow Co. of an arrow coming off the bow, both centershot and non centershot models using fingers and release aids. Yes--a bad finger release can effect the string and arrow motion. The arrow absolutely looks like a piece of limp spagetti as it comes off the bow. What was more scary is high speed photography of the modern compound--looks as though the cable would jump off the whheels as the limbs looked loose enough to fall out of the limb pockets--then snapped back to a terriffic amount of force---exactly why the TBB says a string will break after letting go and it hits brace position----believe it :)

Very informative, thats why I like to make traditional bows and strings, I only broke one bow because I did not know about grain tracing, I broke one string actually it came unraveled then broke my bow, Bonked me on the forhead too. I only broke 3 bows on purpose because I knew that they would eventually break because of the wood characteristics. I learned from great Boyer's like the Ones on this here Forum and have not Broken a Bow since. :)Still learnin.

Bows are very simple compared to arrows. Lots of people can make great bows, but great arrows might be a different story. Justin

I definately believe there should be a "Traditional Arrow Builder's Bible" written some day :).
