Arvins 62" osage design
Bob Barnes:
Arvin, since I own and shoot your bows...when you say it is a shorter version, you don't mean that you just bent it to your old form and then cut the ends off... You made a new form that allowed for the same deflex/reflex design, but in a shorter version?
Selfbowman:
I used my fancy new contour gauge that Willie gifted me. Now if I can learn how to use it. I pushed it down at every 4” and traced the contour on to my 1” graph paper. The edges on the end of the crown was the width every 4”. You can see the crown getting smaller as I went out the limb. I don’t know how that ends up in the computer design. Engineer problem.🤠I just have to build it!! I’ve got the bow straight and the edges real close to my thinking. This is better than building 50 bows to find out where the high stress areas are.SET that ugly happening.
Selfbowman:
No bob I used the same form but I might add more reflex if the computer says I can get away with it.
Bob Barnes:
I'm not one of the experts like yourself...but it would seem to me that "the tips have to be in front of the riser". how old school is that? :)
Selfbowman:
They are Bob .
