Is this recurve static or dynamic?

Looks like dynamic. This thread will show you the two types.
Dynamic.....not static.
That sure appears to be a full working recurve in those pictures...what made you think the tips might be static?

Working - a.k.a dynamic.
Dynamic, sisoje
Now why do all you guys say that it's a dynamic recurve?.... I'm really curious.....
Look at the shape of the curl at brace...and again at full draw. If the curl doesn't open up at all, it would be considered a static tip..... go back and look at the link Snag posted. that is a perfect example. look at how the limb curl opens up.... Kirk
Kirk might be right on this one! I think most of us are mislead by the fact that this bow has no steep hooks. Nevertheless, the curves doesn't seem to open at full draw or change shape meaning that it would be a Static. But is hard to judge from this one pic.
I think I am with Kirk on this one.
I did not say that it was either...kind of hard to tell from the picture angles just what is going on...and why I asked for more information

I asked the question because I'm not sure, it seems like a semi-static if I may so that express myself

Looking at the other photos I still say dynamic....
With a semi static RC, the curl either opens up a bit at the beginning of the draw, or opens a bit at the tail end. I do not see that curl opening at all. If it is, it's not much. If not a true static, you definitely have a semi static tip there.
What is your draw length bro?
my draw length is on some 29" 1/4
if is semi-static is that bad for bow or....?
The bow is doing what it was built to do...it is good
DDave
Well i don't know :confused:
my arrow have 565 grain
9.41 GPP
on my draw length i have 60 pound
average speed is 182 fps
arrow goes like from compound, but maybe I gave too much attention to some texts,
"static vs dynamic"

Not at all... Static is good. it helps your string angle for one, and it stores energy in a shorter working area of the limb where you can harvest it.
From the looks of the string angle, you certainly wouldn't want to draw it much more than you are now. i'll bet you are really close to the stacking point now.
my friend have same bow 65# and his have 31"draw length
without any problems
Your good to go, bow has great performance
Looks static to me with very short hooks.

Once that string hits 90 degrees coming off your hand it puts a huge amount of pressure on the fades, and your PPI will jump up drastically. Besides finger pinch issues, Shooting a bow that is stacking up hard is very hard to shoot well...
That bow of yours has a nice looking bend to the limbs. I could be wrong bro... it may very well draw to 31.... looks good in your hands anyway.
In any case I'll measure increase in force from 28" to 31", so I will know what's going on. In any case, we are all pleased with this bow , thanks on your responses
The curves do not appear to be opening that much, if at all? I would be okay with calling it a static or semi-static recurve. This is just a matter of semantics. Obvious static recuves typically have additional material at the curve...but not always! RER's are static recuves with no additional material (i.e laminations of wood, glass or both) to make them rigid/static.

Kris
Definitely static.
God bless you all, Steve.
in the pic of the bow laying on the target the limp tips are pointing forward,, then the pic at full draw the tips are now pointed straight up and straight down,,, I thought if the tips move at all its a Dynamic design while keeping in mind depending on draw length and bow design the tips will either move a little or fully open up with the string almost coming off with say a 56" curve vs 66" curve @ 29".
also can someone correct me if I'm wrong but there is no such thing as semi-static its just someone's design that they decided to call semi-static and this is going back in time I guess but its either static if the tips don't move at all or dynamic if the tips move a little or a lot.
i just say semi .....is on half way . I'm not saying it exists that. I did not read that someone used that terminology. For semi-recurve I heard. So it inspired me. In any case, this bow is quite satisfying, no hand shock, and is not noisy .And how you Americans say is shooter , so thank you on your help to terminate this bow
its all good I was just curious if I had the whole design right but I've heard bows called semi static before and was curious.
as far as your bow it looks good and sounds like it shoots really good so I'll say that's a winner right there no matter what the design.
Tips are same when drawn as they are at brace. As the limb bends the angle changes but the tips are still bent same amount. Static bow and a nice one.
God bless, Steve
I would say static no doubt. Tips don't open up at all.
