Tiller check please
« on: October 07, 2016, 03:21:25 pm »
I've been trying this style of bow for a while and they have defeated me so far. I can see that the inner on the left limb is bending too much. It's the outers that I'm concerned about. I did a tracing of braced versus full draw and the outer third doesn't appear to be bending at all. With static recurves that would be normal but with long recurves like this wouldn't it be better to have them straighten out some? It looks like I've concentrated all the bend in the middle half which would explain the 1-1 1/2" set. I do still have a few pounds to play with so all is not quite lost. :)

It looks real good, DC. I think you could probably get the outer limbs, just below the recurves to bend a bit more.

I erased the chalk outline and took another picture. Now I can't see that the left limb is bending too much on the inner. Am I imagining things?

I think the inner 1/3 of each limb could bend more. That would relieve the inner bend some too.

The inner third? I thought that was the only part that was bending. Is the deflex fooling me?
