I actually have a much more radical d and r bow but have gone to the bit less radical that Glenn just posted to gain in stability. Interestingly the less radical and more stable bow is just as fast. Interesting stuff there in that you do not have to compromise stability in order to have speed. When I see bows that are almost recurves when braced I would almost bet that some of them,. not all, are vertically unstable and will not constistantly give you the same shot after shot placement ability as a bow a bit less reflexed. That is unless , unlike me, you have a perfect release.
Just som thoughts on the so named radical D and R bow , Which btw, I still build along with above information to the customer.
This comes to the concept of what is the ultimate bow. I say it is not necesarily the quickest bow but certainly speed has to be a top factor. The bow must also be dead in hand, quiet and perfectly timed and stable. Plus the ergonomic of the grip must relate to the shooter and contribute to his ability to make full use of the other qualities.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.;
God bless you all, Steve
