The bow I made was slightly elliptical
Yes, after looking at your warbow, I see it is indeed slightly elliptical.
I've provided several examples and explanations for why an osage warbow wouldn't stack or have handshock but I have yet to see one from you other than the fact that it's a dense wood which actually is a great advantage for a warbow.
Ya, longer bows always shoot better the heavier they are. K then. Yes, this is my point, (that it is a dense wood which is sluggish and shocky in a warbow) which has been my point the whole time. Duh. And you have only purposed that elliptically tillering it will magically make in it an entirely different wood. K then. Cause thats the best shape for a heavy 32" draw 72" long warbow. Alrighty. I'm sure the draw would be smooth as butter. I don't care about any theoretically crap you throw at me, that couple inches makes a huge difference in a warbow, it just does, like it or not, no getting around it. An elliptical tiller is a bad choice for a warbow. For a longbow or target bow, it is a nice tiller shape to make a non-shocky bow. A warbow will need an even bend to evenly compress the wood, to reduce set. Full compass. Make a couple more warbows and come and talk to me.
if you are talking self bows than osage is not a prime warbow wood, in a laminate however, this is far from the truth.
This is been my point the entire time.
