The Pillars of Selfbow Tuning<br />

1 - Long Bows<br />

Man-sized or longer bows store more energy than short bows due to<br />

the lower string angle. The long limbs act like stabilizers and make<br />

constant shooting easier. Even with a slightly shorter draw, the stored<br />

energy and trajectory change only minimally. Short bows are more nervous<br />

and more difficult to control. Due to the disproportionate increase<br />

of the draw weight towards the end, even a small change in the draw<br />

length has a strong impact on the vertical hit accuracy.
