Thanks Arvin....
Yes I do realize that.I wanted to show one without horn that'll come very close to what they can do.
If it was black cherry I'd be a lot more worried about that.
Only time will tell.I usually always put my bows through half dozen 3D shoots and much shooting inbetween to test them.I've been thinking about reducing the poundage to counteract things that could occur.Midway on working the limbs is already a shade below 1/2" thick.Sinew occupies somewhere between 25%-30% of the limbs thickness.
The speed will still be more than enough to hunt deer with and a more comfortable draw yet.
Not quite ready to proclaim winged elm is the king yet though,but it is some tough stuff without the extra mass weight osage will carry.

Thanks Dave....
I guess a bit anyway.Always room or improvement though.Might see you at MoJam later.

RyanY:
Really incredible work and a wild amount of reflex. I’m curious where bows like this lose efficiency. Wonder if the hysteresis is different with it being sinew backed and pulling back into reflex. Would like to see a F/D curve too. Amazing how so many different designs can break into that super high performance area. Should definitely test it at 10gpp.

great work,, congrats,,  :)

BowEd:
Thanks Ryan....I would'nt call the bow here super high in performance Ryan,but enough to take note of.It's been done before in the past and believe it can be duplicated again.Storing energy and releasing it seems are 2 different things.The lacrosse player stick effect I think has something to do with it also.
The bow was tested at 10gpp.You did'nt read everything like it was suggested.Unless it did'nt come up for you which happens on this site on occasions.I made sure things were legit while testing.Otherwise what's the sense in it.
Sometime I would like to test it with a 6 strand string.
Like most of my bows.I do follow up on them later.Something that does'nt happen a lot of times.Like I said to Arvin time will tell.
I did'nt see much [a few 10ths of a pound] lose of draw weight checking at 20"/pulling to full draw and rechecking at 20" again.Same thing when checking multiple times draw weight at full draw either so I'd say there was very little hysteresis.
The thing about a sinewed bow to me is that when rested unstrung from shooting the sinewed bow is like shooting a fresh bow in a sense again because the sinew has had a chance to recover back from stretching and shooting previously.It all takes time.
The practical side of me will put the bow through the motions of being a bow.I can assure you of that.A hunting season will truly reveal how well this bow will hold up.
It is smooth to shoot.The only thing a FD would show is where.

BowEd:
Thanks Brad.
