Is this too radical?

Longcruise · February 26, 2021, 02:44:56 PM

I'm fiddling with RD design wanting to come up with something a bit fore radical than my current design but I'm wondering if I went too far with this one??

You can handle it Mike...

skeaterbait · February 26, 2021, 04:34:07 PM

Have you got a full draw pic

May want to move the deepest part of the deflex toward the tip a bit. You may be fine tho. I have found starting the reflex too soon can may make the limb floppy.

Too radical for stability? or too much for the planned materiels?

Shredd · February 26, 2021, 05:04:38 PM

Cruise... Why don't you post a pic with the back of the bow pointing upwards, one with and without the lines... Lines could make it look different or distort the shape of the bow...I don't know about everyone else but I prefer with the tips facing upward when looking at a bow...

What do y'all prefer.??

I was thinking that some thing. Needs a bit more fiddling.

Shreddy what's ya been sipping on?

The back of the bow is pointing up..

I don't think it's too radical, has a nice long reflex in it that will straighten right out....

Shredd · February 26, 2021, 05:29:30 PM

Damn... Don't mess with me, Roy... Now I'm having flash backs...

Roy from Pa · February 26, 2021, 05:32:53 PM

Not messing wif ya, just thought ya otta take another look...

Flash backs huh?

Not gonna go there:)

Shredd · February 26, 2021, 05:45:05 PM

What Stic said may be something to consider...

I personally come gently off the fades then go into a tighter radius... It don't make it right though... Just seems right to me... Always more than one way of skinning that cat...

I think she looks pretty good... Whats the angle at the fades and how long, ntn??

Roy, I must be losing some marbles...

At what point does a RD become a recurve?

EvilDogBeast · February 27, 2021, 12:54:48 PM

Once the string rides the belly glass at brace from what I understand.

kennym · February 27, 2021, 01:41:15 PM

Mike, looks pretty good to me, I like nocks around 2" ahead of back to give some preload...

Longcruise · February 27, 2021, 01:58:34 PM

Here ya go Shredd. No lines!

About 12 degrees on that departure angle.

Kenny, thanks for that input. The tips in this one are about 2.8". My current design is closer to two inch.

What do you think of Stic's comment?

Shredd · February 27, 2021, 02:16:25 PM

How long is the bow??? At 12* you may be having a bow with the reflex look or straight limbs if it is a 64" bow... Could also be floppy... That's why it is important to answer "ALL" the questions If you really want to know what a person thinks of your design...

Roy, do your magic on that pic...

B-JS · February 27, 2021, 04:16:25 PM

Got a 60" like this.
Works pretty good.

Thats pretty much what I'm going for.

Shredd, my thoughts were to start a conversation about those type considerations.

kennym · February 27, 2021, 05:40:16 PM

Looks a lot like B's above , his looks good at brace. How's she shoot B?

Shredd · February 27, 2021, 06:35:40 PM

Cruise - Thats pretty much what I'm going for.

10-4... I am not really familiar with that style bow but that's what I was guessing yours would look like with with 12* at the fades and 60" to 64"...
