Well glued up my forward riser design. 58" Ended 55# @28" Limbs glass.042 Zebrano .030 Boo .110 Riser boo .060 zebrano .030 glass .042 Riser Pau ferro and Zebrano. Had to trap the limbs because initially was about 62#







Decided to name the bow "IKLWA" The Iklwa was the very effective short handled killing spear used by the Zulu nation in the time of King Shaka.

Why --  Because on the second shot out of this bow it promptly killed the first arrow at fifteen yards

Willem,

Great work bud, I really like that.
Did you grind your own lams?

Thanks

Peter

Peter,
Thank you. Yes I did grind the lams myself.
we should do a bow building weekend sometime.

Regards
Willem

Nice!! I really like the looks and you have a shooter too. Do you have a full draw picture?

Nice!

Looking good.

I like the lines on that one. Great work! Looks like it shoots pretty good for you too.

Nice!

very nice

i like it when the first shot from a bow is in the bull!...BUT drilling the first arrow with the second!!BIG MOJO!!--I'm betting that bow is going to be a stone cold killer!!nice bow!!

Very nice...

beautiful work willem. love the name!!
know why they called it the iKlwa?
it was the sound it made when pulling it from the enemies body's- cool hey!
it has always amazed me as such an amazingly descriptive language
cheers mate
wayne

Wayne Thank you. If the bow could speak it would probably say "Ngadla" which means "I've eaten" and which was said every time a Zulu warrior used his iKwla on a enemy

Full Draw. Forgot to mention That six inch tip wedges(.040)were used

that is one very cool bow- do you have a chronograph, just out of interest- I don't put my faith in fps- but just as a comparison to your normal RD bow.
does the forward riser feel any different to shoot?
they really have grabbed my interest!
cheers

I really like the design.    
I'm quite a fan of the forward riser theory....haven't had much of a chance to prove it to myself though..lol

Good looking bow.  Also, some good shootin.

Good looking bow with some shooting mojo as mentioned, cool! Nice name too.

Great execution looks good, is that .030" glass back and belly...?

Nice looking bow! Good shooting too!
