working on Assyrian bow
BowEd:
Nice pictures of your bow being shot.I believe.I can see the positive tiller being shown at full draw as your top limb is bending more.I've read in Adam Karpowizs' book shooting with FF string can be hazordous to the tips on horn bows with siyahs.
Like the decoratve dragon fly shown on the banjo.Is that on some sort of rawhide?
Hawkdancer:
Very nice dragonfly! Very nice banjo, as I said! I am a somewhat harp player, my wife, Jacie, is an excellent fiddler and tenor guitar player!

The FF string is stabler than nylon or dyneema. Yes it’s sheep hide.
BowEd:
I use FF all the time too on my self bows & sinewed bows too.Even on higher reflexed horn bows too but horn bows are 58 to 60 inches long though.The theory is that FF is a stiffer material[less stretch] to cause more trauma to the tips slamming home on shorter limbed bows with higher dry fire speed.
It does'nt happen right away on the bow I've heard but does after enough shots are taken.
