Bows / Re: Stress and performance
« Last post by Aussie Yeoman on Today at 10:02:42 pm »Do you mean grams of bow mass against the stiffness or stress of the timber against arrow speed? No, I haven't. Could be interesting though.
The thing is though that reducing strain means making it wider and thinner. Going in this direction increases the mass per unit of stiffness.
That requires more width fades to mid limb. Short or long bow. Just an opinion.
adding width to limit set certiany seems like you can get a good handle on how much extra width it takes to make your design shoot better.
does your width out of the handle run straight for a ways before you begin to taper? if so, have you changed the distance out the limb before the taper starts? or just go a little wider to the same point as before?
Good job on that one! That's quite the gnarly looking arrow pass design you have there. What was the draw weight/length on that one?
