Recurve Help
« on: September 29, 2007, 08:16:00 AM »
Hello All, I am working on trying to finish my first recurve project. On both limbs it looks like there is a flat spot on the limbs just past the curves. the pictures are both of the bottom limb, but both limbs look the same. i don't have any experiance with recurves and am wondering what i can do to fix this. Do i lightly sand the belly in the flat spot, just like tillering a selfbow? thanks, Dan.

Leave it as is and learn from it. Change your form for the next one to get what you want.

Yup; you can't change that.

Just shoot it!  Then ensure your form is more "harmonized" before the next glue-up.

See ya,

thanks guys, other than looking a little funny will it weaken the bow or anything? when it is strung you can't notice it at all. thanks again, Dan.

It might be that it will shoot real good that way. My 2 cents  :D    :D
