RE: Longbows of today
I am a little surprized about the center shot answers. There are a lot of bowyers out there that are willing to do so and I have had option in the past to go up tp 3/16" past. You maybe limited in material that can be used however and will not be allowed to compete in a lot of classes.
To me however, it is not completely necessary and it will weaken the riser. Busted risers are surelyno fun! [:'(]
