Platypus bow
Weird dude with a bow:
Nice experiment! now, what if you don't try tu supress friction and noise? this bow could sound like the typical hollywood movie bow when drawn ::)

Thanks guys. It’s a weird one for sure. Del, yes there is a small section of felt at the contact points but leather or suede would work too. I love the experiment of it all and yes the leaf spring is a great visual as to a working concept. I was even thinking that maybe longer and shorter slats will need to be tested. GlisGlis, the contact point on this working prototype is minimal I can lift up on the end with my fingers. It actually bends quite nicely with the main limb surprisingly. If I go with stiffer slats it may become more of a problem so will require more testing. Bob, yes it’s crazy and pretty cool 😎. Weird guy, I was thinking too that this seems like something from Hollywood and kinda gimicky that you might see in a movie. It’s so crazy it just might work! 🏹. Thanks for following along on this crazy journey. Dave.

Interesting, Dave. Without experimentation where would humanity be. Keep it up. :OK
Badger:
I love it, cool to see people still experimenting.
