Default RE: Long bow or recurve

Awright, the semantics police have arrived. Most recurves are cut TO center and not true centershot. Most ' normal' folks say they' re centershot though.

However....

You' ve been building bows for 40 years and never have seen a true centershot recurve?!!? Gasp! [] What rock have you been hiding under??

Go to:

www.archeryhistory.com

They' ve got plenty of pics of true centershot recurves on there. Even some from 30-40 years ago with shoot thru risers, the same kind York used to make their STO compounds in the 80' s.

Welcome to today.

Come to think of it, my cheap ol' Samick Explorer is cut .16" past center, which makes it a true centershot bow. It' s a wood riser. Made in Korea at that.
