A small thing like that wouldn't scale the dimensions well. Also if I'm looking for a half inch difference over say, 64 inches, I'd never notice it across a small piece of wire

Badger:
Maybe they could trace both drawn profiles right over the top of each other. Then you could see the entire limb dynamics.

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 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.
