it would make more sense if you knew me in person.... you see i like being REALLY excessive and i figured this would be a way to get over the whole problem of one arm holding it and one pulling, i know my legs can hold easily over 350lbs( im not trying to brag at all, im trying to help people understand), and i bet i can hold 120+ per arm the way i am thinking, so i figured, why not go for it, and when i start working ill try to show the progress and hopefully eventually a video on youtube ;D
thanks

Foot bows aren't all that innovative, they've been shooting competitive flight bows with feet since way back in the black and white film days.
Guys that build bows to hunt deer in the woods scratch their heads at the nutjobs that tinker away in their garage building something that is going to blow after only 15-25 shots thru it out on the Bonneville Salt Flats. But ultimately it's those nutjobs that really dialed in some serious data on efficiency, low drag, high speed, etc that we use today in tweeking our hunting bows for best cast and accuracy. Two sides of the same coin.
Lemme know when you got that bow done, kid. I got some spare cedar fenceposts I can fletch for ya. Sounds like what you are building is the bowyers version of the Armalite .50 BMG!

i know its not innovative, but i defiantly fall into that nut job category, but this thing i am going to make to last ;D, and about the fence posts, if i cant get any railroad ties ill pm you ;D
this is more what i was aiming for, and those people that hunt and scratch their heads at this will want one after they realize i can hunt in Africa from my porch in RI from it >:D
