I forgot to ask before, would you want the bow retillered to suit the recurved tips or do you just want to see the effect of recurving the tips with no other changes? To really get the answer I think the bow should be retillered, then tested.

Yes retillered as you stated. Sorry I should have mentioned it.

Just trying to get a better idea of the dynamics that make a bow work the way it does.

Yes but what I'm asking is what do you think this will prove and why do you think it matters :)
Best to model this. Wooden bows have too many variables from one to the next. Get some glass strips then most of the variables are eliminated or drastically reduced.

I have a theory that I'm looking for more sample data for. I don't want to say what it is just yet, because I don't want to influence results with any bias. It may turn out to be nothing at all, and if it's nothing, I don't want to embarrass my self by making unfounded claims publicly.

You are correct of course about glass.

Selfbowman:
In my opinion it all depends on the mass placement. In a recurve for example the recurving adds mass but gives you a better force draw. The balance of the mass in that  is what will give you a better performing bow. To much mass on the ends will negate the force draw results in my opinion. Course that’s not worth much. 🤠🤠🤠

sleek:
I agree there, you can design and build the perfect bow and ruin it by having mass in the wrong spots. But these measurements I'm after are not mass dependent.
