Short Recurve
« on: July 24, 2016, 01:02:00 PM »
This not my design but a fellow bowyer was kind enough to share it with me. I did make one minor tweek or maybe major depending on how you look at it. It is an all parallel limb. no forward taper. Anyhow this on has a stabilized maple riser with brown dye and bloodwood and yellow dymondwood. Curly venners. 47@28. Seems to do 28 in. really well. starting to stack after that. Fairly forgiving to be short.

Very nice. Do you see much difference in profile with no taper compared to say .002 taper?

The advantage I feel on a short bow is taking a bit of stress the fades.A BIT more stable.Not much profile change.

Sweet shorty Mike. Is there any notable difference in performance with the all parallel limb?

I guess some would say being you are moving more mass weight it may be not a good thing. So you just profile it a bit smaller. Still a little more stable than tapered to me.

I have been working on a short bow design without much luck, do you have any plans you might share?
BTW I love your bow!
