bow to match arrows
« on: August 25, 2011, 06:23:11 am »
Hello all, I have here an iron wood 59" ntn 31#@25" .did the arrows up first trying to match the bow to them for my brothers girlfriend .had a few trouble spots in the wood, was kind of a challenge. It looked good on the tree but my camera adds bad tiller...some add 10#mine adds bad tiller...but it shoots good. I hope to get better as I get a few more under my belt. :'( as always comments welcome. Also after the belly toasting thread I tryd it out and re tillerd 24 he's after heat no problems thanks guys  ;)

Excellent work! When looking at the high brace height I was wondering too. Jawge

The brace is 6.25"just brushes the fist and thumb.
It could be brought down but is giving a good clean release, thanks for the observation will a deeper brace do harm to the bow? The string still has to get shot in so it may correct its self  ;)

Try to always use the lowest brace height that gives you clean flight. Any higher and it's just stressing the bow more than necessary.
Nice bow.

Looks fine to me.  But then again, almost everybody's tillering looks better than mine! :-[

Thanks agan everyone.   Gun Doc I feel the same of my tiller skills but at least our units can fling arrows and I guess that counts for something  ;)
