Title: preload when is it to much
Post by: BrushWolf on October 20, 2016, 06:27:00 PM
Is there away to know when you have to much preload in your limbs. I have been trying different pad angles with my static limb design. The set up now are very quiet and have no vibration when shot. I am very pleased with them but want to make them the best they can be. Maybe even get them closer 190s with 10gr per pound. Even though the deer cant tell the difference. Just not sure were to much preload comes in to play or how to measure it.

This bow was made by a guy that started make bows in the 80's.
He sold many of these types of Static Recurves.
8" of Reflex.
This is how I build mine.

Interesting Topic...  I am curious as to what some have to say... I have some of my own thoughts on this but not enough experience to put in some honest, 'For Sure' input... And I am only making Hybrids for now...

Why more in the tips?  Or are you meaning less bend in the inner limb.

Interesting topic

more string angle
More bend 6"? from the static Fade, to the the Static fade.
Also that would make less bend from the riser
