Title: static limbs for a newbie
Post by: tnhornhter1099 on March 14, 2017, 09:28:00 AM

working on my own bow design and I am hearing good things about static limbs, can someone help me understand how you build my form to achieve static limbs.  I know that static means the limbs don't work but I really have no idea how to do this

You want the Back of the bow toward the form.
a 2" to 3" Radius will make it static.

So this bow would be upside down on the form.
