    Great DIY on draw length. I knew I should not have thrown that old rusted boat winch out a few years back!! Hope you get lots of likes on this one. God Bless

    I built a draw board today, inspired by this video, and the need to check the cam timing on a Bowtech Insanity CPXL. I used a 2X6, a Harbor Freight strap type boat winch and a 1/2" steel rod for the grip post, instead of a hook. I used 1/2" heater hose over the steel rod. It works great, and it's so nice to have it around for quickly checking cam timing. Total cost, around $35.

    Here's my question though, the pivot point is about 2 inches below the rest shelf. The d-loop is tied at 90 deg behind the arrow rest, so your d-loop is about 2 inches above the pivot point. So when you draw you aren't drawing straight back from the pivot point which puts your timing off because the top cam will reach full draw before the bottom cam. So you may show correct timing at full draw based on this method, but the cams are timed based on the pivot point. Their timed for somewhere between the pivot point and the d-loop.
    So if you time your cams this way, your bottom cam will actually be slower than your top cam because your timed to the arrow rest rather than the pivot point.
    Thoughts?

      The bow is held at the grip in the same spot your hand holds it when you draw the bow. It's worked for me .

    Is that a higher gear ratio winch? I’m interested in making one but I would think you would need to be pretty precise when trying to time. Any idea how much your moving with each click?

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  4 года назад

      It is a gear winch. It works . If it clicks into a gear just before the stop hits, you can see if the draw stops are the same distance from the stopping point. You can then slowly crank till the first one hits and look down at the other to see if it's also touching. You then let down on the whole thing to make your adjustments and then do it all again.

      With arrow saws, some diy shooters use a dremel rotating cutting tool, and integrate a tape measure, many people have videos on this. With bow presses, you want to be careful. You want the press to be safe to use, and some companies require you to press the bow with a commercial press to not avoid warranty. The bowmaster bow press is a nice cheap portable press that won't void ny warranties. It is designed for solid limb bows, although you can get adapters for split limb bows. Hope this helps!

    Surely the draw strength is going to be incorrect at full draw because of the valley? Or am I missing something?

    • @seansoutdoors

      The scale reads the weight the whole time and records they peak weight when it hits it.

    Why is your drawlength 1.75” beyond the grip notch?

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  Месяц назад

      It’s probably related to arrow length and how bows traditionally were made. Originally the arrow had to go past the outside edge of the riser of the bow (when all we had were long bows), so the arrow length contributed to what was considered draw length. If your arrow needed to be 31 inches long for you to be able to draw and shoot that bow, you were a 31 inch draw length, even if you’re technically only pulling the string 25 inches (depending on how long the brace height was). Nowadays, with compound bows, you can shoot an arrow that comes in past the edge of the riser because the riser is built to be out of the way of the path of the arrow. Therefore, it’s not as obvious why draw length developed the way it did

  • @keithorlando6652

    And I'm confused why you add 1 3/4" to the measurement

    • @davisrs1
      @davisrs1 6 лет назад

      Draw length is technically measured to the bow "back" or the front of the grip. Somehow this has become 1.5 inches or 1.75" depending upon the bow camp you talk to.
      I shoot mostly trad, so I always measure to the front of the grip no matter which bow I am performing a draw test on.
