Limb stack vs. poundage
« on: July 23, 2014, 07:46:00 PM »
On a Hill style bow appx. how many thousandths in your limb stack equals a pound of draw weight.

What if you reduce the limb stack with thinner glass instead of using less core material ?

Newb, lol...

I have a chart that estimates .005 equals 1#

That seems about right.  On my bows with 18" risers and 68" NTN, its about .003 per pound, but the shorter riser of a hill style would probably be closer to .005
