String follow / performance
Set or string follow, depending on your choice of terms, can rob your bow of cast. However, will a bow, for example, with 2" string follow, but the same power stroke, perform the same as a bow with...

I do not follow how the three bows have the same power stroke.Example A: brace=4, draw=28, power stroke=24Example B: brace=6, draw=28, power stroke=22Example C: brace=7, draw=28, power stroke=21Dave.

Dave, I think I know what Tim means but power stroke isn't the right word, in a case like this you would just have to do a force draw curve and calculate it out. In most cases I would say 2" of set...

Maybe string travel would be a more appropiate term. In other words, to get a 28" arrow to full draw, a bow braced at 4" would have to have string drawn 24". A bow with 6" brace would have to travel...

Woodbear: This is how I determined the same power stroke.Bow A: 28"(draw) - 4"(brace hgt.) -2"(strng follow) = 22"Bow B: 28"(d) - 6"(bh) - 0"(sf) = 22"Bow C: 28"(d) - 7"(bh) + 1"(reflex) = 22"...Read...

If I am understanding your concept correctly, I would state it as: "Can 2 inches of set be compensated for by increasing the power stroke by 2 inches?". Or put more generally; Can "X" amount of...

I'm sure this is not important but if 2" of string follow is due to set (wood compression) this would seem to perform differently than a bow with 2" of string follow by design or induced deflexed limb...
