Arvin and me
willie:
looks good,thanks I will plot it in the other thread. It is nice to have real life examples when making comparisions with the program. Conventional widsom says every stave is different, and that could be more true if you were to buy a red oak board at the lumberyard where you are, and I were to do the same here.
And less true when a bowyer like Arvin is hand picking the best.
bjrogg:
Arvin and I finally got together and got to shoot a few arrows. We didn’t have a field we could use but we shot a few arrows through the crono. Unfortunately it wasn’t sunny enough to get a reading.
Going to leave this bow with Arvin when I head home.
The full draw looks pretty good yet and we don’t seem to be picking up any more set. The force draw is still holding up to.

Bob Barnes:
Thanks for the great picture BJ. Nice form Arvin and the full draw looks spot on. :OK
sleek:
How much set did it pick up?
bjrogg:
Sleek it started out with 1 3/4” reflex and it seems to be holding 1 1/4” reflex
So it took about 1/2” of set. We put it on Arvins tree and compared force draw before and after we shot it several times through crono (unfortunately couldn’t get reading) and drew it and held it to full draw on tree and it held its same force draw.
I’m not a numbers guy but Arvin thinks it might be a competitive bow. I’m leaving it with him. It’s his winner or loser. It’s certainly a nice bow one way or the other.
Hopefully I can get to the flats someday with him.
