It was this bow that changed my bowmaking. It was around two years ago when I thought well, Arvins design can't be so bad when taking in account all the records. Up to then I mainly made shorter bows, recurved bows and so on. Since then most of my bows got longer and slimmer and I'm still in love with this kind of bow.
cheers

the snakey shape offers an almost centershot but the best thing about that bow is she never misses  :)

Amen to that!  Arvin’s records speak for themselves and a testiment to his design.  I made a few based on his design now and thoroughly impressed being how narrow they were and the performance they had.  I’ve done some experimenting with other woods and have concluded there is something to it for sure.  I too have been changed having shot his bow and owning one.  I have tweaked my own designs based on his bow.  Diminishing mass out towards the tips.  Love it.  I don’t know if this concept is Arvin’s and don’t  mean to disrespect any other Boyers out there but he was the one that introduced me to the idea.  Thanks Arvin!   

 I’m not going to hijack your post here and was going to post one too.  I’ll post one of my latest build based on his design. 

Thanks for posting this gorgeous bow Simk!
