Zero string follow secrets?

[Dano]

"string follow is a symptom of set, they are not different" Sorry that ain't workin either, if that's the case you don't see string follow till you use up all your reflex during tiller or the life of the bow. After every bow is unbraced you will see it take string follow and relax in time, no matter how minute the measurement is. I guess what Tim baker was trying to say is everything is called set until the tips pass the handle, the he calls is string follow. I'm sorry it's set, and it's different than string follow.  A couple of days after Veterens Day, and I'm still proud I fought for the right to argue, and stand up for my beliefs.

I think that's pretty much what jawge was saying, Dano. Set is permanent, string follow is temporary. At least that's what I got from it

funny that you give Jawge credit for that one...

Funny no one has mentioned the secret of no set-fg:)

I accept it as a sign that you are getting the most out of the wood. I don't like to see very long bows being drawn short with barely any curveature. I think that poor bow, it could be working so much harder and having a more fulfilling existence as a bow

Zero string follow it is not very hard to rich. Like you said - induce 2 inch of reflex before tillering , belly tempred after first phase of tillering , its not big deal

don't get political, this is an archery forum.

Once in a great while I use a piece of osage that refuses to take any set, can't explain it, it just happens. For the rest of my osage I reflex the stave 3" before I start tillering and have little set in a finished bow.

Nothing political about what I said, just stating a fact.

as for dealing with string follow:  use a heat gun and gum varnish, as described my Marc St Louis in TBB4.  Awesome results.

It seems we all have a right to disagree here, so lets do that and quit the pissing contest.

I am going to post this here for all to read because I am tired of editing posts day in and day out. Primitive Archer has established this forum for FAMILY friendly use. The rules prohibit cursing and foul language. I have received PMs from the owners asking me to eliminate language that is inappropriate for a family forum. Some people keep on typing and I keep on removing and sending PMs. It needs to stop. You all know what language I am talking about. I don't care if it is not offensive to you, it is offensive to some, including the owners. If you feel you need to use this language, go start your own forum where you can use it all you want.

Thanks for the clearly-worded message.  I did not use any foul language in the post you deleted, did i?  I believe i kept curse words out of it, and simply stated an opinion.  Isn't that the freedom of speech the vets say they fought for?
