Holmegaard build along
radius:
but will recurving them make them more snappy to shoot, or increase poundage in a bow I seem to have made too light?
adb:
Recurved tips will store more energy, therefore improving cast. However, I don't believe they will increase draw weight. Recurving Holmegaard tips would be difficult, if not impossible, considering the thickness of the tips.
radius:
welll, we'll see how she goes...this bow has a lot of work left to go before i can even tiller it: it's deflexed and twisted in a big way....i have cut out the basic HOlmie pattern, and have the bending limbs between 5/16 and 7/16...that's good enough to steam bend it ... now i just need to find the time!
btw, how do i post pictures on here
adb:
Well, I finally managed to completely finish this bow. Final tally: 55# @27", 66" OAL, 65" NTN. Prairie rattler snake skin backed. Strunk style handle wrap. Pin nocks, with yellow heart tip overlays.
With the original tiller, I was getting a fair bit of hand shock, so I lightened the tips, and added very thin tip overlays for safety.
