Bows / Re: yew - a madam's target bow 31# -27"
« Last post by Hamish on December 14, 2025, 04:57:10 am »Very Cool, very classy. I rarely see horn nocks on a flatbow, I thought I was one of only a few that does it. They look really good, especially with yew.
Great attention to detail. I really like it.

Bows / Re: Common mistakes in deflex/reflex bows?
« Last post by sleek on December 14, 2025, 03:08:57 am »You make sure the reflex is even thought the bending portion of the limb. Whe you bend the limb, you make sure the bend stays even as it straightens out, eventually becoming a straight line as the limb flexes flat. After its a straight line, you make sure it bends evenly into a perfect curve as you pull it through towards full draw. You set yourself up for success by evenly reflexing the bow. Start even, finish even.

« Last post by willie on December 14, 2025, 02:01:02 am »Biggest problem is over stressing the limb. A limb will always have a specific amount it can bend no mater its profile. Make sure the bend radius never is exceeded.
A few forumites have mentioned already how difficult it is to not create a hinge when tillering a R/D design. How would you go about actually making sure the bend radius is never exceeded?

Arrows / Re: Quiver, by request
« Last post by StickMark on December 13, 2025, 11:14:05 pm »I might use my woven quiver this winter. I find myself ambush hunting more than crawling around, and I take off the quiver in that ambush style of hunting once in place. They are noisier.
Really nice work. Welcome to PA.

Arrows / Re: arrow spine
« Last post by StickMark on December 13, 2025, 11:02:32 pm »Merry Christmas to all. Ryan talks about how the string wants to hug one side, not directly down belly from nock to nock. He shoots off the narrower side.
Also, he shoots "over the bow", not vertical. Watching his videos, he seems to really short draw that bow as he states.
I wear glasses, and have to be more over the arrow, open stance, face more facing target than sideways, to avoid distortion. I find that I can get use to a stiffer arrow, as the paradox seems more vertical than horizontal.
