(58" NTN recurve)
I want to make more of these
I am going to change the riser, it is to thick back to belly!
Is that too much bend???


I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

Most of the bend seems to be mid limb. I think you could get a bit more bend near the riser(fade area).
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I was trying to convert a take down to a one piece
Riser is 22"

If your going to make more like this then as Pat says more bend near the riser, probably would get this with making the riser shorter.

I don't think it is too much bend. It looks like the recurve levers are opening about right.

I would say if youy give up .001 for a start on the taper that would induce more bend near riser.

Seems right what others are saying, if it was my bow I would take off some material on the belly side to make it more forward riser.

Stay sharp, Kenny.

AlDean its .004 taper total, 7" reflex.
you know how I like the reflex
The limb's are parallel out to the recurves

A Binghams 60" one piece has a 22" riser.
also has deflex the last 1 to2" of the riser,like kennyms R/D has
My static recurve T/D has a 15" riser, 3-1/2" butt wedge over hang  = 22"
The tip are most definitely uncoiling some or about wright

The longer riser gives you more accuracy wright???????????
