Nuther Recurve question

[DC]

All the recurve tips I have seen have shoulders leading into a string groove like the one on the left of the picture. Is there anything wrong with doing it the way I did on the right? It's a mock-up using one of my test bends. It has an overlay with the nock on the back. I would probably put a bit of a string groove in it. I guess I'm wondering if it would put extra strain on the loop. I could get the tips narrower this way.

Here's the picture What a bonehead

No picture is there Mr DC

I was going to give him a little time.....Us old guys take longer but are better in the long run........

The right hand one will work.

Better for what???

[PatM]

You can have the loop a bit  longer and straddling the wedge and then transition into a groove or make the wedge shape longer and have a bridge with a groove.

I guess better pictures , DC.........
The shoulders do a better job of keeping the string inline when coming down from full draw.....
PatM.....sorry the right one won't work as good.................

Not really true.

Do you have a side picture of that Pat? I'm pretty sure I know what's going on but, you know.

Sijahs ......yep that will work but you will lose the smoothness of the draw of a recurve.....

Right hand one reminds me of some Saami bows

 No you won't.     It works exactly the same way.  It's just a variation of the same thing. Some bows like the Korean bow perfectly combine both in one.

I thought static recurves (siyahs) drew smoother

Seems to me when your drawing your style... your pulling two different bow lengths ...one at the bridge and one at the nock.....where as a recurve the draw is continuously pulling a different length which I would think be a much smoother draw, than going from one short length to a longer length within less than an inch draw.  But that's just my opinion.

They draw exactly the same according to net tip position if they are both static. A static recurve is a siyah for all intents and purposes. "Siyah" is just a foreign word typically describing a spliced in variation.
   
 Whether a bridge is there or not doesn't change the smoothness or how a bow lengthens on the draw that happens for other reasons.
