Arrow making process - questions

FilipT:
This thread delivers knowledge with each post. I didn't even expect to learn so much in just a day, considering that this part of forum doesn't have too much activity lately!

@everybody
I heard of bareshafting and I first saw it on Grey Archer youtube channel but I never attempted it before. Of course I will do that from now on, but first I am still waiting for some things to arrive from ebay.

@bjorgg
That makes sense. Maybe I will even get lucky and have to do too much before I realize what suits my bow haha.

@TSA
Thanks for this link. The bow I will use will be 50#, 66" ntn selfbow without arrowshelf. Arrow will pass 1" above the center of bow. Distance between pass and middle of bow is probably 1/2". Not sure though. I will probably even flip the tips.

Notice how I talk in future tense. I mainly used before bows of various lengths and draw weights but currently I am making that one specific bow to end them all LOL. I want it to be my main one through which I expect to put thousands of arrows. For that one I want arrows tuned as closely as possible.

P.S.
Is dynamic spine calculator in excel in fact a substitute for the bareshafting?

TSA:
WELL, yer just a big fat liar!!!!
building just one bow to end them all :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
'fraid to tell you my friend, yer just like us, an addict- theres no such thing as just one bow :laugh: :laugh:


you are most welcome.

bjrogg:
Wayne I was thinking the same thing. Just one bow that's crazy.lol. I think he's trying to say just one main bow that he's wanting to get set up to be his main shooter. I remember when I started making bows and just had one and broke it. I've been making them two at a time ever since. Nothing worse then no bow.lol

FilipT:
Lol no, I don't plan to stop building bows ever. bjrogg understood correctly, it is supposed to be my main shooting bow, the one that I will try to really hone on my skills. Btw, there is a worse than having no bow. It is having no wood at the shed. I am almost now at that stage because last autumn didn't allow me to collect much wood, bad weather and lots of work regarding college stopped me.

TSA, is it possible to get a bigger picture, I barely see anything there?

TSA:
ok, i will see what i can do :)
