It doesn’t  have any issues with torque.  If anything it feels more stable.  Like an I-beam?

Parnell, do you know what the mass is on the bow, I have a feeling we are going to be seeing more of these.

I don’t, but let me work on it Steve.  I think I have a book about mass index around here somewhere...ha!

I bet this will be a very fast bow! Which woods is it? didn't get this.
I believe HLD works like decrowning - spreading the forces more even over the limb width.
I also believe it works better on high crowned backs where chiseling it out becomes even tougher. Also the flattening is more recognizable, which depends a lot to the crossection. I think to remember it should look like a half-moon...
This are just my little experiences. Simson have a very good topic about HLD on his website, gonna read it before  making another. The last (a backed maple ) blew on the tree...and its a lot of work!
Congrats Parnell
