Bow riser question
Selfbowman:
DC that’s some beautiful work on that handle layup. I don’t think that’s a selfbow but I also don’t think it will give anyone an advantage. But I’m not a engineer. Just make your fades thicker. I don’t care as long as your arrow does not go as far as mine. 😁😁😂
DC:
Thanks Arvin. That handle started because I was running out of Yew and came up with that design in order to use thinner cut "boards" for the limbs. That meant running the riser out into the limb for thickness. I've now decided that 7/16" thick is enough to keep the riser length down to 12" or less for a 40# bow. If I'm feeling really cheap I can cut a 13/16" board kind of on the diagonal and get two limbs out of it. When I get more Yew I won't have to concern myself with it so much.
It has a Boo backing so it's not a selfbow anyway, is it?
loefflerchuck:
Seems like a fair rule would be- if it extends to the bending section it is a layer. If it's stiff it's just a handle lam.
DC:
That would be the intent of the rule but how do you test something like that? The bend just slowly diminishes as you move toward the handle.
Selfbowman:
DC what I meant was simple composite to complex composite. A fade is a fade is it not??? Just asking? Arvin
