Can you take string follow out of a hill syle long bow .my bow laying flat on its back has measurement from top tip is 2 inches. And the bottom tip is 1 1/2 inches. When strung up the tiller is a 1/4 inch more on top where riser fades out
Or is this normal? My bow is a 1986 the stick made by martin archery 55#@28 .I havent been able to see or put my hands on another one to compare.Are they supposed to flat or are they supposed to have a curve to them?
Sounds about right if it was designed that way. Though 2" of follow is extreme in my opinion.
Ted Fry at Raptor Archery was putting together information on Martin/Howatt bows, you might send him an email.
I don't think you can take the string follow out of a glass laminated bow.I pretty sure the Martin Stick should be flat.I had one and it was straight.Have you owned since new? It may have been left strung in a hot condition and taken a set?
Tiller is about right. Never known a Martin to be a string follow bow. I agree with Charlie. It does seem extreme, regardless. Nope. Can't remove the string follow. Time to look for another bow, perhaps. Good luck.
