Newbie question tip overlay.
« on: February 05, 2008, 05:38:24 pm »
I think tip overlays get glued to the back side of the bow but I am a comound guy trying to break the mold to be a traditional guy as well. lol

So tip overlay on a board bow belly or back?

Thanks,
Chris.

Overlays go on the back, I have seen a few bows with underlays though.

Welcome to PA cam188, glad to hear that you've seen the light ;D

I fought the archery light for a long time and it finally sucked me in. Now the traditional side is doing the same lol.....

May the force be with you.  :) You don't need those training wheels, anyway.  ;D

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Yes, tip overlays go on the back (side facing away from you when you're shooting). They can serve a functional purpose, making the tip last longer with FF string, but mostly they add eye candy, and are usually a contrasting wood or colour. Remember, the string on a longbow only touches the limb at the nocks (tips).
Good on yah for giving up your training wheels. Free your bow, your mind will follow.

That's a beautiful tip adb. How did you get the skin to flow around the tip so nicely?
