If you have a reliable way to recurve the bamboo and allow for 50 pounds draw weight, you have an absolute game changer.

I believe I do. This is the first set of limbs I’ve done that were not just test pieces. So far so good. Now to get a number of these done and ready to test at various draw weight.

A-lot of broken bows and trial and error if you know what i mean. I was thinking of doing a comprehensive build along for these bows soon and posting on youtube and or here. do you think there would be enough guys here interested in these and would this is wise to do?

PLEASE DO! Those bows are beautiful, they perform very impressively, and holy mackerel does that design open up a ton of transportation options. I'd never be without a bow during my travels, and I'd always have a backup option in the backcountry when hunting. That is simply fantastic! Love it man! Thanks!

Then the next hurdle to overcome is the arrow. Are you imagining a hinge in the middle, or telescoping sections like a fly rod?

Jw, you joke, but I believe socketed arrows are a thing...
