A pleasure!It was good fun working the kanji I'd not seen before out! I don't think there's a meaning...I did find this video
???????????"????"?? - YouTube
(It's not a dodgy video, just looks that way from the link above....It's a Chinese program, and I can't speak Chinese...But I found it after I input the kanji for a meaning..)
And it appears it's not just us who are confused by it....But most of China....But I guess the explanation works as far as that goes! We'll see what happens next eh?
This thread is so good I made an account just so I could participate 
Anybody else notice it looks like a different Ragim bow was used in some photoshoots? The wood looks different and it appears to have limb pockets. I've already ordered my 48", but just noticed the difference and thought it was interesting.

Good to see some other Aussie's on here, out of curiosity, which states are you based in?
Anywho, Chris, were you able to get the Ragim Matrix Jnr. without the limb pockets? As I am just a bit worried to spend the money and order one through Oz Hunting and have it turn out to be the wrong model.
Thanks very much for your help though!

I'm glad to see that people are actually reading this thread!!
I've been staring at WAY too many pictures lately, and I'm sure my eyes are shot, but in the following picture it looks like the hinge piece used for the arrow rest might actually have been curved to better (not perfectly) fit the slight curve of the bow.
If not curved, there is a gap under the hinge piece.
(Yes, I haven't dismantled my hinge yet. And it also seems that there are major variances in the final hinges from Sea Dog. Only one of mine has a hole exposing the hinge pin.)
What do you think? Am I seeing things? I imagine curving the hinge piece to match the curve of the bow greatly reduces any shifting or rattle if not wrapped tightly.

I wonder if this particular detail changes between bows from hero to stunt.
The SDCC bow, for instance, does not appear to have a curved hinge arrow rest. I judge this by looking at the line formed by the sharp edge of the hinge against the sinew. The sinew wrap is pulled very tight so, on the curved hinge you can see that the edge makes a curved line.
SDCC bow has straight lines along the edge, and so is probably flat. Of course, that doesn't mean that on that particular bow they didn't carve out a little pocket for the hinge to sit flat without needing to be curved, nor does it rule out simple visual distortion.
I'd also bet that the bow used for the closeup shot was more likely a hero prop than the one they sent to SDCC for display.
Good eye!
At this point I have no doubt I'll be making a version 2 bow, so keep the details coming!

Just for a further clarification, this actually means "Yao", as in the surname. (I know some people who speak the language 8)

That makes sense....I can't vouch for the way it's read in Chinese, beyond the meaning of the kanji alone....Both Japan and China would have several kanji that can be read the same in names...But if it's used as a name in China, that's cool too.....And perhaps more "likely" given the explanation on the show..

I think... I think I just found all the pictures:
Home > Television Series > Arrow - stephen-amell.us
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been doing a lot of Google Image searches. I'm amazed at how thorough this fan site gallery is. It's a little awkward to navigate, but it seems to have the largest collection of high resolution pictures.
Here are a couple of neat finds:

Overthinking it.
Brass is soft.
Just place it against a surface with a depression the depth of the curve you want and set about tapping the curve in with a hammer.

I don't know about "knowledge". It just took lots and lots of detective work. If only I was getting paid for the hours I spent scouring google, yahoo, and bing. LOL
That's the same site most of the behind the scenes pictures in my posts came from. Definitely awkward to navigate, but once you get the hang of it it's a great resource!
Nailed it. This is going to be an easy mod. I'm going to check my reference pics another 6 or so times before I do anything though.
