All bows have set, not all bows have follow. Follow is the distance the tips go past the axis of the handle when unstrung.
Absolute correct statement.
I say no "follow" is preferable, but up to 2" is usually not a deal killer per-say. It's not preferable, but some bows can deal with string follow better than others, I think anyway.
Individual taste,would dictate this.I agree and disagree with these comments.
I prefer a little,in the bows i shoot,not only because of the manners,but a bow with a little follow can just as easily be faster than some without,if the bow without,is overbuilt to avoid any.
