Yes, and by natural progression of design, a thin limbed bow WILL be a short bow.
SLIMBOB:
So, 1 7/16 wide is ideal. 1 5/8 is a beast. That’s a pretty small difference between the two extremes. That sure doesn’t leave much wiggle room. Are you sure you didn’t just mistate your point? That would be understandable. I once said on here that back sinew wasn’t used for backing bows. Turns out I didn’t use it for that, but many people did. I was just wrong. No harm in being wrong. Remaining that way, a different story.

When I can get away with short working areas I dod but in most cases I need most of the limb working to avoid set. I usually leave the last 8 or 10" pretty stiff and I like longer fades like 3" or even a bit more only if I can get away with it and not take too much set. Avoiding set is my #1 priority.

I agree with you on set being number one. Wouldn't a wider thinner limb be under less stress and take less set?

Yes, the less working limb I am shooting for the wider I go in the working areas.

Tongues get twisted as do typos, ok maybe 1 13/16" is a beast. At any rate did not know this Forum was so stuck on particulars and Rocket science wizardry. ;D
