Arvin and me

<< < (6/9) > >>

bjrogg:
My skin’s fairly thick JW. Dig away.

I decided to do a force draw curve for the first bow I made from the stave Arvin sent me. The stats are just slightly different for Flats or Bust.

Its 45@ 25

About 3” longer and almost two more inches of reflex.

PS once again I am using a fishing scale. It’s not digital

willie:
nice  bows brian, thanks for the pics.
would you be willing to take a few more measurements of "Arvin and Me"  so that I can reference the data for the stave that Arvin is tillering for the computer design?
If so  from what I have seen so far in the thread it is
 62" ntn with 1/4 " set prymid

but I didnt see how wide at the fades
and if you could mike some thicknesses at four inch intervals out the limb from center that would be great.

bjrogg:
Willie I did some more measuring for you.

The length is 62” n-n

I would say it is closer to 1/2” set now.

Handle and fades I would say 10”

Out of fade 1.595”

Tip 1/2”

The reflex is 1 1/4”

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more

willie:
the extra info and pic are appreciated.

do you have a caliper to make some limb thickness measurements with?
every four inches would be adequate
thanks

bjrogg:
I will try to get that for you tomorrow if I can.

The back is very flat.

The belly was almost what I think you would call trapped?

When I tillered I removed the peak of the trap.

If I remember correctly there is still a trapped edge over most of the working limb.
