does a bow with a shelf perform better
BowEd:
Well at least you live in the country.Stay away from the brine.....ha ha.
Sorry to meet again on a differing subject PD but it was'nt my choice and this site is not what it used to be.
PEARL DRUMS:
Our road is either a dusty or muddy mess. Never in between :)
Ed, the last thing I worry about is how anybody else enjoys their version of archery and I know we both enjoy our chosen routes. This site is a slowly, sinking ship and the PA "magazine" staff made it that way. I'm forever grateful for the crew of friends from around the country that I made. That cant be taken away.

bow on left plum bow by Marc,, hard used sinew bow by me on right,, killed a deer with it,, let a friend hold it while strung,,they pulled it back and dry fired it,, lesson learned,, dont let anyone hold your bow strung, bow is now retired,,

It is clear to see we are set on our ways. Varying choices with satisfying results. It is what makes the world go round.
bradsmith2010:
i shoot both types of bows,, I just enjoy shooting any bow that is well made,,and I seem to gravitate to the minimum,,a bow with a string,, is magic,,and I am so inspired by the Native bows I have studied,, I enjoy shooting bows of the most simple design,,I made some short bows Sioux Design,, cause I was like why did they do that,,23 inch arrow,, how can that work,, well I made some and shot through the chrono,, 180 fps with an arrow slightly less than 10 gpp,, the bow was above 55# and the arrow in the 450 grain range,, I was like ohhh, thats why they liked that style bow,, I learned,, and still am,, and no need to say,, it didnt have a rest,,like most of those or all of those bows of that design,, it was slightly bend in handle,, so I dont think cutting a rest would work,, that being said I have not tried it,,I do think for longer range accuracy,, you would have to develope the skill,, I was only good out to about 10 yards,, but had not been shooting that way since I was a small child either,, would have been cool to see what level of accuracy was achieved by someone shooting that style bow for a lifetime,,
