Biggest problem is over stressing the limb. A limb will always have a specific amount it can bend no mater its profile. Make sure the bend radius never is exceeded.

A few forumites have mentioned already how difficult it is to not create a hinge when tillering a R/D design. How would you go about actually making sure the bend radius is never exceeded?

Arrows / Re: Quiver, by request
« Last post by StickMark on December 13, 2025, 11:14:05 pm »
I might use my woven quiver this winter. I find myself ambush hunting more than crawling around, and I take off the quiver in that ambush style of hunting once in place. They are noisier.

Really nice work. Welcome to PA.

Arrows / Re: arrow spine

Merry Christmas to all.  Ryan talks about how the string wants to hug one side, not directly down belly from nock to nock. He shoots off the narrower side.

Also, he shoots "over the bow", not vertical. Watching his videos, he seems to really short draw that bow as he states.

I wear glasses, and have to be more over the arrow, open stance, face more facing target than sideways, to avoid distortion. I find that I can get use to a stiffer arrow, as the paradox seems more vertical than horizontal.

I bought these from 2 guys who inherited their dad’s collection and didn’t want them.  There are 6 Keen Kutters, a WW2 hatchet, a boy scout hatchet, 2 bluegrass, one has the original paper label, and several others.  Almost all of them look to be in new condition with great stamps.
