How many less points would that guy have shot if he didn't have a bow with a shelf on that day shooting the same round.....?
Making what you like is part of the fun of this game.
If we all did everything the same...

[Selfbowman]

  Bownara I guess not enough points. I don’t know. Let’s not get the popcorn out over a shelf. That’s been wore out before. I’m just old retired man that builds bows for a hobby.  Arvin

[Bob Barnes]

sweet... Arvin, is that a BBO in the pile?  If so, I'd like to know how it shoots for you.  I would think your preferred bow style would make a great BBO.   

[willie]

very nice, Arvin. I'm glad your bows are in demand. if the snakey one makes it to the podium,  just tell them   "form follows function"  and keep'em guessing

[Pappy]

Nice work Arvin, you been busy. Hope to see some of them in Tennessee in a few weeks. Some like large shelf , some like small shelves , some no shelf at all and some off the hand, no good or bad with any, all good.

Very nice set of bows, looks awesome!

[Selfbowman]

Yes  Bob that’s that selfbow that had a horizontal crack in one limb. It shot a flight arrow 216 FPS . But that means nothing unless the arrow was to come out clean in a flight shoot. That’s why I don’t depend on the crono. The boo kept it alive for now.  Correction that crack bow was fixed with boo but that shot was made thru a bamboo backed , bamboo core and horn belly that I built. Arvin should not get on the internet before he fully wakes up. 😁😁 Arvin

[Bob Barnes]

  Arvin, you know that I think bamboo backed osage is magic...

It tortuous that you don't have more pics yet. What a tease! That snakey one is siiiiiiiiiiick. Can't wait to see them finished up.

I don't like shooting wood arrows for target, ,and carbon is stiff spined. My weight poundage is low  at my old age, so I cut the arrow shelves on my bows as deep as I can get away with.Tie the thinnest low stretch string I can , and can shoot a 600 spine full length carbon with a 100 grain head out of my self bows with good arrow flight at 10 gpp give or take. I also shoot a string nock which gives me 2 reference points. Each to their own ,but that is works best for me. Replica bows I cut no shelf, and no nock on the string. Self bows, or shelf bows bows what ever suits your fancy.
