Title: Fixed Crawl
Post by: NWWI on August 05, 2021, 01:31:37 PM

I’m relatively new to traditional gear.  Is it harmful to shoot the one piece vintage bows with a fixed crawl?  I have several bows from the 1960’s that i like to shoot but I would rather not damage them.  Usually I shoot a three under fixed crawl and I seem to have more success shooting that way.

I make hickory self bows and I treat all my fiberglass bows like my wood bows even though fiberglass is resilient. :archer2:

I have been shooting my old fiberglass bows 3 under for years , with no problems . I do not think you should shoot them string walking .

To each his own ya know but I shoot all of my bows 3 under and fixed crawl atleast half of the time.. Half of my bows are atleast 50. years old. Aint
  no way shooting fixed crawl will hurt your bow
