Does anyone know how far past center this recurve fedora 560 takedown is cut. I can't find information on it. 3rivers spine calculator doesn't list it, for choosing an arrow spine. I have a guy that has 5575 arrows full length. The bow is 53# @ 28" his draw length is 28". Will they work? JF

So why not just measure it? That will tell you for sure.

Lol, I knew there had to be more to it than you just not doing it.

According to the Traditional Bowyer's Encyclopedia Mike Sr.built his 1 piece recurve bows 1/4" past center. I'll bet the takedown is dang close to that.

How many arrows you got there man? You can't find an arrow to try out to see who flys.

I guess I need to go fly a Kite, right Jeff.LOL

Glenn, I don't have the bow. The guy lives way out in another state. I'm doing some fancy tuxedo cresting for him, you know something for me to do, that I can handle. I can't? lift anything over two pounds with my left. I'm a weakling ;-) JF

Yeah, I know all the cresting is supposed to be on the other end ;-) JF
