Stringfollow bows
« on: July 04, 2010, 07:28:00 PM »
I am going to try to build a glass laminated stringfollow bow.Do I need to build the stringfollow into my form or can I just build it on a straight form and let it develope a small amount of stringfollow after being strung and shot? I only want a small amount of stringfollow, maybe 1/4" to 3/8". Thanks, Bob

That's about the amount of string follow I get when I build a straight limb bow following Bingham's plans.

Straight form will get you what you want.
