Carbon backed longbow Past center ?

[Dmaxshawn]

I did a bunch of checking around and didnt find too many carbon bows that were cut past center.  Just wondering what yalls opinion is.

68 inch R/D longbow carbon backed A-boo cores and glass belly.  40 pounds @ 30.  

Can i cut 1/8 th past center without failure or is going to have to be center shot bow ????


Thanks

I don't known how much more strength carbon adds over glass, but I would think if the carbon is used in place of glass I would cut my shelves the same to error on the side of caution. If the carbon is used as a reinforcement you may get some extra strength out of it... Just  a guess

I believe I'll go to center and not go 1/8 past to see what happens.

Phenolic I beam or build the riser wide and leave a lot of meat in the sight window. I do both and cut most of my bows 3/16 past center and most of those are carbon longbows and recurves.

God bless, Steve

Thanks Stephen ill give it go and see what happens.  I usually go 1/8th for regular bows.  My thoughts are since Its a phenolic reinforced riser it will bold because its only 40@30
