The Ante

[HH~]

Ya lost me too. What are you saying Pat.

That statics provide extra.  Why else would you be doing this build?

[HH~]

Purty sure ive said. I never built a static that shot noticeably faster than any other good selfbow. Have fast statics and fast reflexed longbow selfbows.

The why?

For the Arvin Super Recurve Shootout

[PatM]

You never measured though.  That's the confounder.

[HH~]

Correct. I have eyes.

I see! You cant make a static unless yer chasing a chrono readout.

I’m going to have to polish up on my military talk. That way I can understand. That’s going to take some doin since I never was military. Arvin

Big difference between saying two bow designs shoot the same because I can see it versus actually measuring the differences. Come on man. 

[HH~]

Purdy sure i explained how i look at it. If i can see The flight difference between B55, D97 and 8125 shot on same bow. I dont need draw force curve extrapolations to tell me which one is gettin it done.

Keep it primitive. No need to put spooky dust on it and call it some kind of miracle of bow building. Rather “that bow is quick is good for this yardbird.

Then you would just make the simpler one.   Plus if ya need cheaters to cut a splice....

 It's like ya don't wanna know what ya know, ya know?

I think the static is some faster but what I really like is they are smoother , looking good Shawn , but please speak English so all can understand. 😊 Pappy

There is something about them as shooters, either that or all the bending and tweaking to get them just right makes us think they are extra special.

My statics do seem more stable and easier to shoot, could be all in my head but they are my favorites.

Here's the Ante after a small amount of thinning. I started with Ante over sized in fades all way to tip in width and a tad thick as well, Ungar Engineering if you will. Scrape some edges off, then lube it up and put it back in form or build a form with several more inches of reflex and slide it on and cook it one more time.

Have to get a handle on this buggar before any bending. I did find a section of wood that'll work.

If recurves and longbows shoot the same why not just make a longbow???
I'm looking forward to seeing full draw and unbraced afterwards
Good luck on your build.

Looks to me like a pretty good handle already...
