--archery math(recurve bowstring length/handle-to-behind ear at full-draw)--


 a=
  c2-b2=a2
a2+b2=c2x2
a2=b2=c2x2=(string size/length)


key

a= hand to ear distance at full draw
b=  half the distance between bow-string notches of the bow at full draw
c= distance from bow-string notch to bow handle center

 --still working on this one, i will upload the diagram and it will be obvious--


     i reworked a calc i had, but the paper i wrote it on is missing...(i'm having exponential missing pieces of paper issues)--

       --here is the above calc, in a new way, that i feel puts a veery fine point on things--
 
       bow tip taper angle calc-

      values
     1) bow length 48
      2)bow thickness at handle= 1
 
         (inches)            (# of)                    (bow length)
     (bow length) %  (bow tips)  =  (remainder, handle-to-tip)
          48           %       2          =                  24

      (inches)                                          (inches)
  (handle-to-tip)                               (handle-to-tip)
      (length)           (degrees)              (remainder)
        24             -      30          =               6

      (inches)                                             (inches)
   (handle side-)                              (handles side-thickness)
    (thickness)     -    (degrees)   =           (remainder)
         1              -        30         =                 29

         (inches)                            (inches)                  (degrees)
(handle side-thickness)          (handle-to-tip)            (bow-tip)
      (remainder)                       (remainder)             (taper angle)
            29                    +               6             =             35

   calc for correcting bow tip-taper for tip thickness--

    the thickness at the tip must be added to correct the taper angle-- i estimated 15 instead of 35--
here are the not-so-rough numbers--
                                                                             (inches)
                                                                            (bow tip)
                (inches)                                            (side-thickness)
     (bow tip side-thickness)   -  (degrees)   =       (remainder)
                   .25                            30                      29.75

                                                                                                      (degrees)
                (inches)                                    (inches)                          (bow tip)
             (bow length)                               (bow tip)                      (taper angle)
     (remainder, handle to tip)    +   (side-thickness remainder) =  (total remainder)
                   6                                             29.75                             35.75

  i have to re-plug this(35.75) into the calc, and see how it works--


       bow taper-value calc--

   bow taper  = handle diameter - bow tip taper angle  x  # of tips  = taper sq-inches
  
          (inches)               (degrees of)
   (handle diameter) -  (bow tip taper)

             96                                28                           124

       (un-corrected to inches)
