Help me understand selfbows/paradox
I have a martin savannah, laminated longbow, where the riser is cut to be pretty close to centershot.
But I really would like to have a hickory selfbow. Just because. Ones I looked at had a little tiny shelf. I know the arrow can't be set to perfect centershot. So it sounds like with these bows, you have to shoot around it, with extreme paradox, which to me sounds like you need a real weak spine to do this? That means one's accuracy can suffer?
Is all this correct?
Maybe someone would help me understand. I would like to have one of these selfbows, but sounds like finding a arrow match is much tougher because bareshaft tuning is going to show weak spine but you have to have the clearance.
