Bow Efficiency: Foundations for Beginners

As a new bowyer, we all reach the stage where it is no longer good enough to produce a bow that didn't break - because we are quickly hit with the realization that function and performance do not go hand-in-hand... When it comes to shooting a bow, the operation of that bow is never free of charge and it's currency is FPS... In this video I explain some of the basic inhibitors to an efficient bow and the design aspects to exploit in order to get the greatest "pass-through" from your bow. I have geared this installment toward the new bowyer, although It may be good review for any of us. I keep the subject to mass theory as it applies to a wide flat-limbed selfbow. The content here is only the removing of the lid of the can of worms that is the debate over bow performance - but it is a sound foundation.
