Stress and performance
Selfbowman:
Mark I’m thinking removing the edges of the back of the bow will reduce the tension possibility’s. Not add to. Reducing the mass should also make increase speed in the limb returning to brace. Redneck thinking.🤠🤠
bradsmith2010:
as you make the bow shorter,, there will be a point of diminishing return,, where the perfromance will go down,, even the draw weight is the same,,

Trapping will help balance the tension and compression capacity of the wood and let you get closer to the maximum performance the wood can achieve but it isn't magic.
