I share most everything. My goal is to get more people interested in Flight .  There are many bowyers on this site that build bows that can be competitive. You can do this in your back yard if you have a big one.🤠the records are available. Then attempt to brake them. But knowledge learned at the flight shoots are huge.  Arvin

Thank you Arvin! It's great to have a platform like this where exeperts like you share their knowledge. I have learnt a lot from this place. Making the fastest posssible bow has been my motivation for a while.I lately have been laminating a lot which is very interesting - its like working in a lab where you can adjust single elements and learn. Right now I'm focussed on making the most pleasant bow for my clients. This for me still means a fast and efficient bow but also durable and and forgiving one to shoot. Further I want to make something aestehtic and beautyful and try new woods.  For example I just found out that laminated pear makes a beautyful, but sluggish, heavy and slow bow (-; on the other hand I just found out that black loust makes an excellent backing (-;
However my goto design contains a little bit of Arvin for sure and I think the time will come when I feel the motivation to make a flight contender.
Have a good time!

Wow. Gorgeous!   Love the look of these bows.  Well done sir

Selfbowman:
Those are beauty’s for sure. The long narrow bows draw as smooth as silk for sure . No stacking and are more forgiving than short bows . But in the right hands the short bows get the job done for sure. I’m interested in good hickory be a se it’s light. A 2” wide at the fades hickory with boo backed I’m thinking would be a screamer in this design  . Dave is definitely on the right track I think.

Those are some great looking bows, I really like the fire hardened Elm.
