Post by: cutty on March 31, 2019, 10:44:08 am

How narrow can you go on handle, splicing billets with Z police?

As narrow as you want the handle to be.

I normally make my handles 1" at the arrow pass with no problems. You can offset the arrow pass to make it as close to centershot as you want. Look at one of Marc St Louis's bows.
