Selfbowman:
Sleek that’s s what I was saying about making the pyramid wider at the fades. The record broadhead bow took no or very little set. I guess I need to make a straight Pyrimid wider at the fades with no reflex and see where this goes. I do know reflex in the outer limbs causes more strain on the limbs. It has to.

Fair enough. My opinion is that following the theoretical pyramid taper and using levers at the end is the best way to go. I can get circular tiller for all of the working limb with constant thickness and stiff tips (which are desirable, IMO), which is a lot easier to tiller than the ASL profile. Either way will certainly give you a decent bow in the end.

You are correct on this, Arvin. Extra width on the pyramid shape costs almost nothing in extra limb weight but will help keep set at bay.

American Style Long bow. The back profile described by sleek is very close to this design.
