thanks for posting this, i think this might be my next project after the ipe and hickory longbow im planning, and the footbow i want to make, although, i guess the foot bow could also be considered a flight bow
thanks for the help

Marc, without a doubt you are one of the resident Masters. I would also say you are the poster child for Elm because youa re kciking out some killer elm bows. I would love to see the faces of the cyborg shooters when they see that thing shoot. Danny

Man! That is fast, Marc. Looks like the same Chrono I use. How do you calculate the distance from the speed?

Marc that is incredible and shows just how much you are pushing the extremes of a wood bow. Well done. Can't wait to hear how it dose on the distance. We are going to have to start calling you "Rocket Man" or maybe "After Burner"

Thanks guys.
Eddie. I've shot 320 yards with a bow shooting 220 fps so an extra 22 fps should easily tack on another 80 yards. There's also a program out there that can calculate distance from velocity.
This one is just a test bow Keenan. I plan on making another with some improvements for someone to shoot at the flight shoots

It is a very interesting design. I think it looks like it has a thicker and stiffer area just below the recurves, and more bend closer to the handle. Features not unlike the turkish composite design.
Is there a reason why this one has not got as much reflex as your other recurves?
