Hi btrueblood,
If you pick up on this reply; I have a question about L and Straight Length in the equation. From what points of the string are these two variables measured? Specifically, with the string stretched across two small diameter steel posts (1/4" dia.) is it measured from the inside...
I believe that I could use the cross sectional formula ?r² for R. However, how should this basic formula be modified to account for twisting and tension to ensure an accurate result?
Hi,
I am an avid archer and am about to begin making my own strings for myself and others compound bows.
I am searching for a formula to help me calculate the appropriate length of string material needed to build a string that will equal a certain length after pre stretching and adding twist...
