When the string is in contact with the measuring part,the zero should be at the middle of the limb width, yes?
If the limb is twisted or the riser causes it to appear twisted, the zero mark will be off centre. |
The key is that the limb tips are straight with the limbs and each other what the string does at the riser is not very important.
Funnily enough Beiter are working on a guage to do something similar as they are aware of the limitations of the guages, but were having issues making it universal and allowing for different limb profiles as some are not flat. TBH for recurve if you do as suggested in the article by Jay that's all you need, as it negates any inconsistancies in the riser, even a twisted riser can be more accurate using this method I think Jay shot one for a time.
