How is YOUR bow shelf cut?
« on: June 17, 2011, 02:59:00 PM »
I see a lot of folks asking about how a certain bow's shelf is cut. Thought it might be helpful for selecting arrow spine if everyone, who knows, how their bow is cut to list it.
I'll start with:
Blacktail recurve......-3/16"
Isaiah 49:2...he made me a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.

All of the Rose Oak Creations recurves by bowywer Brandon Stahl are cut 1/8" past center which mean they have a (-1/8) number.

I know all the recurve bows built by Wes Wallace are cut 3/16" past center so their numbers are (-3/16).

I don't know anything about how the shelf is cut on the Royal longbow he builds.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

Unless I'm mistaken, the shelf is what the arrow sits on; the sight window is what you're asking about..

Thank you for the correction. I always refer to it as how the shelf is cut. In other words, it's how deep the shelf is cut into the riser. But I think we are on the same page.
 
Good start on these bows guys! Keep it coming. Let's cover all the bases.
