Lukasz Nawalny:
incrase is unpossible for me , my arms are to short , 28 inches its max draw lenght >:(

Jaro:
Must be difficult to string with such steep transition from wood to horn. How tall are you? I m 5´ 3" and can draw over 30" at level and 31" for distance shooting.
From the video is clear that you could go little down with your anchor and take a second to stabilise, which will give you another 1" or something.

Very little of folow on that bow, that is good. How heavy were arrows shot at the metal plate?

Lukasz Nawalny:
arrow was 47 gram. Hm, you have prabobly right, I must work on technique

Jaro:
Try to make some 65 gram ash arrows. With correct arrowheads, they will go right through such metal (1.3 mm).  ;D
Keep us posted.

Henry,
You have potential to draw a much longer arrow.  If you look at your full draw, say at 2:08, you have not pulled it past your head so from the side there should be 'fresh air' between the string hand and your head.  Below is me drawing to 33" at 5'8" tall, however the bow is light (for me at 114lbs).  If it were heavier my body would compress and make 31 1/2" my max.  This is the case over 150lbs.
