Bows / Re: an actual draw force curve
« Last post by simk on Today at 05:03:13 am »The draw weight curve should start from brace height, otherwise you don't get meaningful numbers.
OK, lets say brace is 6.5". And whats drawweight then at 6.5"? I need a number but cant measure dw at brace.
In virtual bow I see the graph going towards 0/0.
Then Tuomo, how is that hypothetical linear comparison bow in virtual bow defined? Referring to the "energy storage factor"
I'm still not through with my theory....
Thanks

Bows / Re: Preparing horse sinew for drying
« Last post by Hamish on Today at 04:20:42 am »Yep, just let them dry then pound them, comb them, all the crap will come off. Never used horse, don't see why that wouldn't be good. I think Chinese bowyers used horse, so it should be good.

I pulled it to around 22” about a dozen times or so to work in some of the changes I had made to balance things. Seemed to take to them well and looks better now. Slightly positive tiller on top longer limb which I’m fine with and may work to maintain that moving forward. It feels about 45-50 lbs at 22” now by feel but may be a little shy of my 70lbs target. We shall see. I left it strung for about 45min after pulling it some to see where it settled. prior to the changes and getting it braced i had around 3.5" reflex. I now have around 3". we shall see what i can retain when done. I don’t have a way to take video that would be worth anything of me drawing it at the moment. I’ll see if my camera lady can help take some video. Here’s a clip link from YouTube showing how braced.
