Been a while since my last post. Very busy setting things up. I thought I'd tease the latest design. Nordic Viking inspired with Elder Futhark text that reads "pray for peace" on one side and "prepare for war" on the other. Looking to launch my online shop for these and other crested arrows and...

Hello all, I'm a robotics engineer who recently found traditional archery. I'm quite interesting in the craftsmanship in fletching and bow making as well and decided to build a machine that I though might merge my engineering skills with my newfound hobby. I'm sure you are all familiar with...

Modern archery classifications fail to describe complicated shapes of historical bows, so I classified them with a consistent convention based on the side profile and includes features such as asymmetry, string contact, and static tips. Culture is avoided in this classification system, because...

Hello All, I'm fairly desperately asking for advice, and for help, with a problem that I'm dealing with over here in the UK. I have been a long term user of this forum for advice and knowledge, so please forgive if this appears like an opportunistic first post. I'm posting this request, in an...

This came up in my newsfeed: https://scitechdaily.com/the-physics-behind-optimal-archery-feather-design/ It was just presented, so interested to hear what the final conclusions are. I suspect it won't be much different to what the The Trad Lab came up with. "Currently, the choice of the...

Hi Everyone. Needing some expert advice! I am new here. Just signed up to ask a few questions about bow design. I am working on a new traditional style takedown bow design for a patent I own and wanted to get some input from as many people as I can. I am by no means a bow design expert and...

I am just getting into ILF\DAS. I have some great risers and like trying different limbs. I have asked questions and received very detailed technical answered, which I appreciate. It appears that there are valid technical concerns when selecting limbs and riser combinations. Is there a good...

I just found this article titled Fundamentals of the Design of Olympic Recurve Bows by D.K. Lieu at the University of California, Berkeley published in 2012. http://archery.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Fundamentals-of-the-Design-of-Olympic-Recurve-Bows.pdf It provides a good...

Hello everyone. I have another question for you. I'm new to the traditional scene so I'm trying to learn more about the sport. I see in magazine's and on the internet a ton of different riser design's on both longbows and recurve bows. Is there a reason other then personal choice when it...

Through tuning arrows to more than a dozen bows, the one thing thing I can't understand is how 2 different bows tuned so bare shafts fly well can have such a different vertical impact. It does seem that the closer the arrow sits to my hand (bows shot off the shelf) the lesser my gaps are at say...

There are 2 ways to make any bow faster, store more energy or deliver more of the energy you already have to the arrow with a higher efficiency. Efficiency is expressed as a percentage of the energy imparted to the arrow vs the stored energy (KE). While efficiency can be important when the...

Kind of like this:sbrug: Add a set of Micarta handles and a kydex sheath. "D-2 will through sparks from a piece of flint, D-2 is a high carbon tool steel"

LOL, I was thinking, why could you not make slight angled shims to go between the riser and limbs allowing you to tighten the limbs down. This would be quiter than ILF. You could have a shim kit with every bow and use the appropriate shims for the tiller you want. It could be made of hard...

I remember MartinO doing a thread about his progressive plunger which was a clever solution to changing crawls and the changing spine due to different crawls. I was just thinking of an ILF attachment that's spring loaded, meaning as the crawls change the loading on the limb always stays...

Hi all, this is my first build that I did about 1 year ago now. 44# 64" long 21" limbs I did a lot of research on bow building, tiller and bow design before I started this project and decided to build this bow with the arrow shooting from center with the picot point below based (correctly or...

You guys are probably about tired of all my questions. I do appreciate you sharing your expertice. I have my wife's blessing. I am ready to buy but I am still researching the perfect set up for me. I don't mind the cost. I have all my modern wheel toys to sell to recoupe the expense. But for me...
