Thank you guys! I get inspired from your works and learned a lot!

Yes I'm from the "heart" of Central Asia. And horse meat is very popular among the kazakhs .

We dont have a rattlers or any other snakes with such a beautiful pattern. This skin was brought by my american friend who works in Kazakhstan

Cool looking bow. Would love to see it unbraced. Did it take much reflex? A more straight full draw shot would be nice too. Looks great though

A plenty of reflex! Unbraced pics and some steel penetration test at 17meters away

Thank you very much dear members of PA! I have a fresh bow stave (wild apricot) already bent in a reflex, with longer siyahs. I once used wild apricot, its good bow wood.
