Hickory bow and mass
« on: February 27, 2014, 02:24:29 pm »
I have a hickory bow made that will possibly be my trade bow. I have taken this  opportunity to make the best bow possible. With that in mind I searched out Badgers mass principle formula only after finishing this bow to check on how I did. The bow looks great, shoots great, and I am right on with the mass or just under.

Finding the formula was harder than I thought it would be. 66" bow, 1.5" reflex, 8" non working handle, 55# at 28" call for 21.25 oz. My bow with a finish on is 21oz. Does this sound right? Thanks. Bob

Thank you badger, I will send you an e-mail. The formula I ended up finding looked like it might have had a couple other guys hands mixed in with it, but they were giving you credit.
