Now I wonder what virtual bow says about your hypothetical bow Arvin? Im curios to check my work against that. It would be fun to have a bow build off competition between my formula and the virtual bows design.

Virtualbow doesnt "say" much, it's more of a visualizer for your inputs, but I would be happy to plug in your design if thats what you are asking. can you supply a thickness description?
1. assuming a straight taper, I would need the thickness at the point where the handle dip ends and the full bend begins along with the distance of that point from the center of the bow. And the thickness at the nock.
2. if the taper is not straight, then additional info will help. Its easy to change the thicknesses once the end of the dips are located to see different results.
should I assume the same recurve at the tips as in Arvins model above?

Basically ai leave the thickness to be determined by the final bend radius the bow has, as you tiller it toward your draw length, never drawing past your desired draw weight. So, thats a fancy way of saying... idk?

yeah, Thats the traditional way of tillering. If you wanted the program to help you could measure a bow you have, or since you eyeball your bend while you tiller, would comparing two bends in a screenshot of the program help?

Its my opinion that if this hypothetical skinny long bow were to be built, it would be tillered so that the strain is even across the whole bow. If the program can tell you what tiller would look like with even stress, choose that tiller, and the draw length, then the thickness should sort itself out?
Selfbowman:
Ok 🤠🤠🤠it would look like a yummy bow. Never mind.
sleek:
Im sure it would perform better. And the tiller would not resemble one. Just the length and width would be reminiscent of a yumi.
