"Not Wide" Red Oak Board Bow Not for BOM

<< < (9/18) > >>

George Tsoukalas:
Pappy, thank you; the ongoing joke in my family is that dad does not take to change very well which is why I've stayed with B 50.

Go for 1-3 inches of twist as the ideal and let it stop stretching before serving and like you said it will function.  The string I just tied is almost done stretching.

George Tsoukalas:
So the string stopped stretching.

Once again, this is a bend in the handle bow.

I laid out the handle. I measured 1 inch above center toward the top limb and then 4 inches down. That is my handle area. The arrows will be shot 1 inch above center.  This is the way I've done it for bend in the handle bows.

So in the photo "C" is the center of the bow. The next line to the left is where the arrow pass and 4 inches down from that is the handle itself. "T" is the top limb.

George Tsoukalas:
The serving length will be about the length of the bow square beginning from the bottom limb up to the top limb. I will try to get the bottom and top of the serving equal from the arrow pass.

More on that later or tomorrow.

Jawge

Pappy:
I hear ya Jawgs, I am kind of slow on change myself, at least that's what I am told. ??? :o :-\  Looking good on the bow. :)
 Pappy

George Tsoukalas:
Thanks, Pappy, glad you like it.
Lord willing I can serve tomorrow.
Jawge
