AVCase design Arvin bow build

I am going to hit those measurements real real  close . Put it on a long string check it to 20” draw. But I suspect if I hit the measurements right it will be spot on at full draw. If not me and the engineer will have a sit down talk! 🤠🤠🤠

It’ll be interesting to see what the tiller looks like.

I would think if the numbers are right and both bows were made from clean wood, it should be pretty good.

Maybe a different in weight but a similar bend.

The numbers would have to be really good not to need a little fine tuning though.

Oh so this is real test for the engineer and old Arvin is what you are saying BJ. Now that I am about to try to hit those numbers I’m beginning to wonder what i got myself into!🤠🤠🤠🤠

bradsmith2010:
variations in the wood,, could effect what the numbers do,,since all wood and staves vary,, but you should be close,,
but I wouldnt really know till I got it to full draw and shot it a bit,, the wood may settle in various ways,,and it may need a bit of fine tuning before full draw is a good idea,,will be interesting to see how it goes, thanks for posting,, also moisture content will effect how the stave reacts to bending,,
    do you know the mositure content of the bow you using the numbers from,,,

The design was close to my caul I normally use. The growth rings I don’t consider ideal but good and even in thickness. So. We will see how this turns out and how good I am at following the engineers drawings.🤠🤠

Very cool, Arvin. I look forward to seeing how it all works out. My limited experience with designing a bow and building to the design says it will be very close on the tiller and you will only have to fine tune the last few percentage points on the tree.
