Hand shock .. Slot in limbs

[JamesV]

I have seen a slight nick in the glass cause a limb to fail. The glass on a recurve will be under tremendous stress from tension/compression at full draw. I don't think it would hold up long if at all. I would certainly use some kind of protective headgear. Good Luck

That is really cool.  Thanks for finding and sharing that with us.

Wish we could find one and see it work.  I have some opinions on that from a physics stand point.  But I have been wrong many times before.

Very neat

bradford. was your idea to cut the slot and add rubber in the slot to dampen the shock? or, to cut the slot and run the string through to increase performance like in the above mentioned ad that bjansen posted? i understood your question to be creating a harmonic dampener.

Yeah.. to add rubber was my idea.. just something to absorb shock..

The problem I see with the above ad is that you don't get to use the tips as intended.  But who knows.
