What is this FG of which you speak ;)
That's gotta be the most entertaining post I've seen in a while. That bow deserves to relax in your fave armchair with a cold beer :)

That's awesome! I did a similar test last year on an old guava bow that didn't turn out so well (lots of set). I could pull it until the string pulled off the nocks, no damage at all. I ended up breaking it by setting the nock on the ground and putting my full weight on the bow. The limb tip bent almost too the handle before it finally broke. This bow never even had a finish on it, and had been left out in the rain overnight a few times. I think sometimes we underestimate the ability of wood to handle bending. Sorry yours didn't turn out the way you wanted it too. I really like the side profile.

Awesome test, and shows just how well that bow is tillered, and your over all skills as a bowyer. Congrads.

I like to think it is HARD to break a well designed and tillered bow that is taken care of at a normal MC. Impressive result. Thanks for sharing!
