For a wooden self bow a draw of half the bow length is a reasonable upper limit, but with a short prod the geometry is possibly different, so I'd say half the prod length is a bit extreme. The best way to find the maximum is to pull it back til it breaks, then come down a tad ;)<br />Having tried the Laburnum I could probably get away without the natural deflex. Once it's finished I will be able to use it as a test bed for different prods made from offcuts that are too short for bows.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654835987876553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493681473159888383.post-45561799867738191372011-10-23T17:24:08.757+01:002011-10-23T17:24:08.757+01:00Prod!
