Bowyer question on glass tip overlays for FF?
« on: February 21, 2011, 08:39:00 AM »
In the past I have used a piece of glass roughly .080 and a piece or 2 of wood for tip overlays.
I have used FF on these bows with no problem.
I am building a new bow for myself again and wondered if I used a piece of .030 glass instead, would it be enough to handle the FF?
I didn't know how much the thinner glass would do? Thanks Steve


Also, In your opinion, what else does or does not make a bow FF compatable besides the glass, or antler tips

My reply to your duplicate post:  ;)

The amount of glass you use (if you use it at all) really isn't the issue. It's the shape of the grooves that's the key. It should be a tear drop with no ridges - including the transition to the belly!
