WillS:
As a continuation of my post in the Arrows section, these are some of the pictures of my bows that were taken for the History Of War magazine article that came out a couple of months ago.

These aren't newly made bows, and I've probably posted bad photos of them before when I actually made them, but the photographs themselves are quite nice, and they managed to get them full length, which I always find very difficult to do!  No full draw shots of course, as it was in a studio.

First, a 125# Pacific yew







105# English yew with side nocks







60# spliced English yew with side nocks

Del the cat:

just been admiring Wills and Blacksmiths bows ,just one observation i will make, the string touching the belly of the bow when braced,i know of one august body where this is frowned upon and considered a complete anathema,reason being, string slaps the belly of the bow when shot . your considered opinions would be appreciated .                               

WillS:
Brian,

Are you referring to where the string loop touches just below the nock?  In my case that's just my sloppiness in the loop being made too large I think.  I've not noticed any detrimental effects when shooting.  I assume the rules you're referring to are based more on inducing recurves, no?
