If it's taking set then it is failing in compression.

Selfbowman:
So I’ve always heard that Osage was pretty even in compression and tension. This trapping makes me wonder how true that is. Less mass on the back but it is still failing to compression??? Explain to me in the most simple terms possible please.

bjrogg:
Happy New Year Arvin.

I agree with Bob. Looks like a nice shooter. Nice profile yet and I’m sure it has many years of good shooting ability.


I know your are after more than that though.

I guess I have always assumed the set came from compression and crushing cells.

I suppose it could be tension and stretching cells?

I think it is more than simply tension or compression. There’s so many things that effect set. And in the end we are dealing with a material that although very similar to each other as a species can still be very different individually.

Would be interesting to know though.

If the trapping actually caused more set. I might speculate that the back actually stretched more than the belly compressed?

Got me starting the year out thinking 🤔

Selfbowman:
Well not impressed with the speed 169. 497 gr arrow.

Selfbowman:
I might try one more like this with thicker late rings and less early wood. Don’t know?
