Beautiful bow!  I am just getting ready to put the sinew tips on my first horn bow and have been admiring yours.  Is the hook on the end built beyond the end of the horn?  Very well done!

  Thank you, sinew tips are right at the end of the horns. There are no horns behind the end.

Awesome bow.
                          I noticed you are drawings three fingers. How bad is the finger pinch, on such a short bow?
