during a shot.. do you think thevanes of the arrow pass the cables and cable slide at the drawn postion or the rest postion.. meaning.. when thevanes gets close to the shelf,, is the cables already back to their rest position or are they still trying to catch up?


i guess this is kind hard to explain..

Without seeing sto-action video I'd almost think that being as the fletching started behind the cables at the static position the cables have maybe even passed that position (over travel)as the fletching goes by and are soon on their way back. Good question, but I think you have too much time on your hands.

The arrow does not leave the string until the string reaches it's most forward position (past rest position)or after the string contacts a STS type of sytem. At the same time the cables are going forward and by the timethe vanes reach the cables I believe the cables would be either in a rebound position or still occillating (from the force of the cams and limbs). I hope that explains it.

There is simply no way to know since everything is flopping around like crazy.

man .. guys im sorry about that question.. i had surgery and was on pain meds the other night.. lol.. i asked another stupid question on a different sight..



anyway.. thanks.. sorry for the waste of time..

I don't think the question is stupid at all. It's how you gain knowledge. My comment about too much time on your hands was purely kidding.

The cables are being acted upon by the same cams that are acting on the string. They should be moving foward at the same rate as the string is moving foward in relation to how much each moves rearward.

In other words the cables and string should both reach their respective "at rest" positions at the same time or real dang close to the same time.
