Arrow Shelf hieght
« on: September 20, 2017, 11:27:00 PM »
Where do you guys normally put your arrow shelf at on a Wooden bow.?  I do it at 1 1/4" above center. Is a center shelf ok..?  If the lower limb is shorter where would it be best to place an arrow shelf.?  Is it better lower or higher.?

I know lots of questions.

I make my bows symmetrical with the center of the handle at the center of the bow. I grip the handle with mymiddle finger on this center line and mark the shelf at the top of my bow hand.

1.25 in above center but that is not written in stone. Depends on how the tiller looks in relation to the weight I want. Jawge

Thanks for the tip first time I heard that one. I tried it and it ends up at about 1 1/4" proud.
You know what they say about guys with small feet.
