Thanks y'all
Haha Dave...yeah just had to put the king on it cus Ryoon was there,oh n guess what he was working with too?
Yep Greg...saving the best for last ...so when am I gonna see you make something like this with your locust?
Come on Ryan...snap snap...I wanna see that thang all finished up
Jon besides the aesthics n string angle benefits which make it even smoother to draw than a straight lever,it does increase performance in my opinion...BUT you must account for that additional reflex by putting more mass/width in the working limbs to withstand the added stress and still maintain a healthy set in the wood. Another thing I found by curving or reflexing levers is that there is no additional mass in a reflexed lever compared to a straight lever,which was contrary to what I thought I wood have to do if I did so before I started curving my levers. Now how much further can I go before I have to add more mass to them for stability reasons? I don't know? I have been pondering lately trying to go even more of a higher angle. As long as my string tracking is dead center thru each lever and the handle I believe I can actually go pretty far before I wood have to add mass for stability. Might have to add string bridges tho.
Just come on over n pick one out Will
