I am not trying to argue with you just trying to inform you that many californians used short bendy handle paddle bows.... Your bow does not display these traits and is more of a Molle style bow and looks very good.

Not really but kind of. Ed Scott made a bow very close to this, and I just jacked with the idea a little bit.

Ed scott makes a dang fine bow. I know the one your talking about and that's bow of like a hybrid bow. Mix between American flatbow/holmgaard. He has an interview video on youtube about this style of bow which is worth watching.

You did a very nice job I'm sure ed would agree :D

I met the guy and he is interesting.  In fact, he gave me a hickory and an osage stave as a gift.  Turned the hickory into a missile launcher  ;D.  At this moment, i'm working on the osage.  It will be a double curve horse bow.  Ed is a genuine human being.  He allows the neighborhood kids to come and shoot.  All they have to do is knock on his door .

He seems like the type of guy that would make all the kids bows just to make them smile.
