Goldenwood Bows...
RyanY:
I won’t comment on Forrest’s work specifically but there can be a huge difference between a bow that looks good and well tillered and one that actually is. Unless you’ve shot one and chrono’d it you don’t know for sure. I’ve shot some absolutely beautiful bows that looked perfectly tillered and they had a ton of hand shock or were totally average.
Eric Krewson:
He uses a tillering gizmo, I can't remember if I sent him one or not, I think I did but after sending out over 300 my memory is a little hazy about who got them.
I don't get this slamming a guys bows that none of you have ever shot, what's up with that?
Jim Davis:
I think all my bows start bending right out of the fades. I've seen lots of them here that do.
Eric Krewson:
Mine do as well, when I am tillering I put a board across the back of the bow on the tillering tree to watch the movement out of the fade and be sure I get some.
George Tsoukalas:
Made many a bend in the handle bow. Bows that bend in the handle do not necessarily shock. It is all about the tiller and the limbs returning in unison. That's what produces a good bow.
Also keep in mind that perfectly looking tillers are not the best tiller for that bow. Here is just a short example because I know no one listens. Bows with knots ...the knotted areas should appear slightly stiffer than the rest of the limb.
