Rākau:
woweee, that is amazing, how does it shoot compared to your self and sinew backed models?

Rakau: 1.2.3. Hornbow 4. Selfbow 5. Sinew Backed
If I had heated reflex in before sinewing this one probably ended 4th place...it's a learning process...reflex and string tension seems to be the key. cheers
i will do more of them. it's intetesting to stay at the same design for a while. will do another elm (,it sadly broke when overdrawing) and would like to check out black locust  and ash also 😁 always busy with projects 🤪

BoltBows:
Very cool bow! Great work!

bownarra:
If you want to get more performance tiller the horn version to have a more abrupt bend right out of the fades. This will give a longer return path and store more energy. :)

simk:
that's a good point bownarra  :OK that was the plan - already with this one - but it's not so easy to properly hinge a bow - still learning  ;D
the hinge will also help for good string tension, wouldn't't it?
