Is this too radical?
« on: February 26, 2021, 02:44:56 PM »
I'm fiddling with RD design wanting to come up with something a bit fore radical than my current design but I'm wondering if I went too far with this one??

May want to move the deepest part of the deflex toward the tip a bit. You may be fine tho. I have found starting the reflex too soon can may make the limb floppy.

Cruise...  Why don't you post a pic with the back of the bow pointing upwards, one with and without the lines... Lines could make it look different or distort the shape of the bow...I don't know about everyone else but I prefer with the tips facing upward when looking at a bow... 

What do y'all prefer.??

I was thinking that some thing.   Needs a bit more fiddling.

Shreddy what's ya been sipping on?

The back of the bow is pointing up..

I don't think it's too radical, has a nice long reflex in it that will straighten right out....

   What Stic said may be something to consider...   :dunno:

 I personally come gently off the fades then go into a tighter radius...  It don't make it right though... Just seems right to me...  Always more than one way of skinning that cat...

  I think she looks pretty good... Whats the angle at the fades and how long, ntn??

Roy, I must be losing some marbles...   :laughing:

How long is the bow???  At 12* you may be having a bow with the reflex look or straight limbs if it is a 64" bow...  Could also be floppy...  That's why it is important to answer "ALL" the questions If you really want to know what a person thinks of your design...   :readit:

  Roy, do your magic on that pic...   :thumbsup:

  Cruise  -  Thats pretty much what I'm going for.

Shredd, my thoughts were to start a conversation about those type considerations.

  10-4...  I am not really familiar with that style bow but that's what I was guessing yours would look like with with 12* at the fades and 60" to 64"...
