Title: negative centreshot effect on arrow flight.
Post by: ozy clint on March 08, 2009, 03:48:00 PM
we all know how an arrow reacts when shot from a right handed bow not cut to centre. for the purpose of this thread i'll call it positive centreshot.
how would an arrow react when shot from a right handed bow that is cut way past centre where the arrow shot with 'negative centreshot'? of course you would expect it to be in paradox as it would be if shot from a lefthanded bow but it is being released with the right hand.

I think we encountered this exact problem with thin carbon arrows shot from a friends Hoyt recurve, where he'd made a leather / rubber shelf and strike plate. It was untuneable, as I recall, until we built the strike plate out.

thats what i figured. i just recieved a hoyt sprint recurve in the mail from a tradganger as a pass around. it's 20#@24", i'm trying to get my wife into archery. it's a metal riser job cast way past centre. not that i'll bother buying and tuning arrows for this bow (she can use my arrows)but i figured that to do so i would have to build out the rest to as least centreshot.

hey ben was that tony's gamemaster?
