Bow failure. Diagnosis help please.

<< < (3/3)

sleek:
Can hardly call it a bow at this stage eh? Hey rip that tape off and all will be well with the natives. And while your at it, toss the rest of the roll into the rubbish bin!

Tommy D:
Sometimes bows break!! But what Del said makes sense - get a decent bow wood and work on a tried and tested design until you know you can repeat it - then you can start to tweak things here and there. Once you get a shooter you can always then play around with things - heat treat the belly, bend in recurved tips, pike the bow, stick a backing on it ... and you can then figure out which was the “straw that broke the bows back” so to speak...
