your going to ne a CAD program...look at http://www.mastercam.com/
Good luck..:D
carefull whom to speak to about your design... I see Bow Tech is in a bit of trouble with a guy who says he designed the pivot limb that they are now using :confused: was a nother bow in the 80 ies that had them so time will see how this washes out :confused:
thanks. I'll check it out. I wouldn't share ideas w anyone. Any other ideas,thoughts?
other then checkin current pattens :confused: not realy.... you will need solid works, with that also...but im sure it tells you all that.. good luck... look foward to new Bow co. will i get a discount...lol:D
we'll cross that bridge when the time comes. I've had designs for awhile, but never seriously thought about actually doing it. Some of you may know,Michigans economy SUCKS! Putting it mildly. That's why I'm thinking more about it now. I may need the services of a custom string maker....Quote:

Did you proceed with the project?
A similar idea has crossed my mind sometimes. Unfortunately I am an electrical engineer and not mechanical, though :p
