When I clicked the topic, the picture was just below the screen so I didn't see the bow 'til I scrolled down.  I won't embarrass myself by saying how long it took me to figure out what you meant by that ^^  but let's just say I slapped my forehead and shook my head at my slowness :D

Nice looking bow and the difference in reflex with the Samick is unreal!!  Reminds me of pic's from Karpowicz's book on Ottoman Turkish bows.

i really like it.  i put it through the chrono this morning.  im gonna try again later, when the light is better, but it was averaging 165 with a 31 inch arrow, 4 inch fletchings, about 580 grains.

lerxst:
Wow i really like the looks of that bow. On the whole stringing thing, have you watched the vidio" archery its history and forms" ,it shows how they string flight bows using wooden blocks to pre bend the limbs before stringing . This may or may not help.

aero86:
ill check that out lerxst.

i shot it through the chrono again this afternoon.  averaged 165 again.  took a carbon that i have, about 430 grains, averaged 175 fps.  im pretty happy with this bow

and i finally found a how to on how to string it.  its for a different model bow, but it does apply since its the same maker and same shape..  took some getting used to it, but ive got it now!

gstoneberg:
Nice.  I liked the way the Samick drew, can't wait to try this one out.  We're going to have to go to the range again. :D
