Tiller. Split vs 3 under.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Selfbowman:
Steve where do you put the scale hook when tillering?

Badger:
even with the bottom of the shelf

Alex C:
I've been thinking about the same thing lately.  The big difference is the location of force applied to the string by the fingers at full draw and by the arrow on release.  For three-under shooters, that point moves ~1", whereas it really doesn't move at all for split shooters. 

No matter the method used to get to a final tiller for three-under, we pretty much have to choose between it being 'perfect' for the draw or the release (or maybe tiller so that the center of force is somewhere in between).  I'd imagine that a bow tillered so both limbs apply the same force to the arrow would be a better performer, though that means the bottom limb is more stressed by fingers at full draw.

Shooting split seems to solve it though! Maybe I should try shooting split again... it's been years and I hated it....

Selfbowman:
Guys I haven’t got this all figured out by any means.but when shooting flight I use two fingers split. So should I make my top limb 1” longer and shoot middle of the bow??

Selfbowman:
Question does the hand on the bow torque the bow when held?  Does the bow want to bow Down at top limb and if so why.
