Title: Parallel Lams
Post by: matts2 on April 12, 2011, 08:55:00 AM
What kind of issues will there be if building a glass RD bow with all parallel lams?  Can you trap the last 12" or so to make up for not having tapers?

Matt, I think if you have a wide fade and pyramid taper down to the tips, coupled with trapping and you can obtain your desired tiller on your R/D bow.

Parallels work ok for a short bow. I kinda prefer it.   Mark
