Long Handle
« on: August 08, 2015, 02:58:16 pm »
I've noticed some bows that have been posted have very long handles with just as much handle above your thumb as below it. Is this a different school of thought or something else?

Like many things in bow building, personal preference.
Some guys like the added stability, I prefer smaller handles
and longer fades

I think it is a way of making the mow more symmetrical with equal length limbs.
