Question about long bows

[DRT]

Are all long bows cut to center and not past center for the shelf, sight window?

[tex4k]

"All", no some aren't even cut to center, not knowledgeable enough to say which bows are what, but I've got some older bows and they definitely aren't cut to center, some of the older recurves even make me think they may a little shy of center.

A lot of longbow risers are too thin to cut all the way to center without sacrificing strength.

I'm looking to see if any are cut past center by an eighth inch or so.

I made some hybrid longbows that I cut 1/8 past center. But most of the traditional long bows ( thin risers) are not cut to center.

No! Some are way before center, some are at center, and some are past center. It just depends on the bow!

So can someone recommend a brand cut past center?

My bow from Randy Madden is 3/16'' past center, just like my Widow.

Bob lee takedown is cut past center, I am almost positive. But, out of curiosity, why you need one cut that far?

Easier to tune and more tolerant of a wider range of spine.
Big Jim can do 1/8 past center on 1and 2 piece bows and 3/16 -1/4 past center on 3 piece.
I do the same.

Well Randy you're on the short list.

Next question. Will shelf cut DQ me for a TBOT class?

Not as long as you shoot off the shelf

I know the reasoning for it, but was wondering about his reason. I have found that tuning one that is not cut to center is not a big deal, but just wondered why he was wanting one.
