Re: CIRCULAR TILLER BOWS AND DRAWING AN ACCURATE BACKING BOA

ok, so it bends in a circular pattern just a shorter portion of the limb.

so this is for selfbows? obviously laminated bows bend alot differently.

Re: CIRCULAR TILLER BOWS AND DRAWING AN ACCURATE BACKING BOA

is there an advantage to a circular tiller? obviously bows tillered on either end of the spectrum from a circle still work. mollegabet for example. is it more of an exercise in replicating period bows? i guess i'm used to working in a trade were accuracy counts. that amount of discrepancy would be s...

Re: CIRCULAR TILLER BOWS AND DRAWING AN ACCURATE BACKING BOA

i guess the other thing one has to consider is the bows aren't shot like they are tillered as pictured. the fulcrum might be closer to the top limb tip and the point on the string were it's drawn would certainly be closer to the top limb tip. this is one thing i've never understood. why are they not...

Re: CIRCULAR TILLER BOWS AND DRAWING AN ACCURATE BACKING BOA

Every circle has a circumference which is 6 radians long or the length of 6 radii. The ends of any radian are 60 degrees apart from the foc...

Re: CIRCULAR TILLER BOWS AND DRAWING AN ACCURATE BACKING BOA

2. CIRCULARITY If a bow is to have a circular tiller, then the arc of the limbs must form part of a circle which has a centre point. The length of the limbs must form a definite proportion of the length of the circumference of that circle. Also, the depth of the curvature at any position along the ...

i awoke a boy. i go to sleep a man. primitive fire.

started my 1st primitive fire today. i used the bow drill method with rawhide cordage i made. the hearth board was green wattle, the spindle was black cypress and the bearing block was an old bone. the tinder was stringy bark.

it's a shame that carbons aren't allowed. it discourages participation for the many that shoot and hunt with carbons, IMO. surely they can be in their own class.

numbers participating is more important for our sport.
