does a bow with a shelf perform better
BowEd:
I always install a slightly raised horn dot on my arrow shelf as an indicator where to lay the arrow.That along with a dental floss string nock gets me right every time.
Each to his own I say but it's still a FG mentality with a shelf.
Personally I was not influenced by shooting FG bows before making self bows.
WhistlingBadger:
I've never put a rest on any of my bows; I just like the feel of shooting off the hand. But one thing I have started doing is making a contoured handle, just a little dip for the web of my thumb to go in. The consistent, effortless hand placement has really helped with my accuracy, especially while hunting and field shooting.

Have you mentioned this to the staff? It would be a shame if the site were to go down.

I was Ed. They are right. Just saying . Is it primitive? Probably not. Is it all natural materials? Yes. Did I scape the bows with a rock? No. Are fg and Arvin bows more forgiving, easier to tune and shoot ? Yes Do they perform Better in flight distance shoots and most tournaments ? Yes Did they have the same type contest in years gone by. Of course they did. I bought a bunch of probably 70 year old flight shafts last summer. Are you they primitive? Don’t think so they had plastic vanes and plastic nocks. I have to remove those to meet the current rules. This has been interesting and fun though guys. Arvin
