Bows / Re: The best shape for a reflexed bow?
« Last post by willie on December 10, 2025, 02:02:19 pm »As for the taper rate, I optimized it with strain distribution in mind. What would be a better approach?
Model exceptional performing bows in virtualbow to find what the best strain distribution looks like.
Use this distribution model to test different degrees of deflex/reflex, different tapers and lengths etc.

The nice thing about the fringe is it doesn’t matter if you have odd shapes that don’t fit together ideally.
It just adds character
Nothing fancy, but I like the look
