Wolftrail, no the glass is .042 back and belly and the zebrano lams is .030. Taper is .002 boo and .001 boo so total taper .003

I'd say iKlwa is right!  That's some deadly accuracy!

Out of personal curiosity, is the iKlwa the same as the assegai, or is it another spear?  I've used the assegai in martial arts training, and I could easily see how incredibly useful it is.

Excellent job Willem!

Wish my forward riser had turned out as well as that!!

Fantastic limb profile. Bet it draws smooth and pack a ton of energy!

Wayne the chrono results for what it's worth.

My drawlenght 27" the arrow weight 490 grain.
Forward riser 55#@28" so about 52#@27"

The recurve decurve same weight bow same arrows

Forward riser chrono


Recurve decurve


So !!!! No meaningfull difference

Oh yes  ====  finger release

Halfseminole yes it is an assegai but very short hafted to bring the zulu warrior in close contact with the enemy. Very interesting history on this particular fighting spear. The iKwla was King Shaka's own introduction and the discipline and courage needed to make it the effective weapon it was, was immense.His warplans and strategies compared well with big strategists with hundreds of years of experience behind them. Read Shaka Zulu by E.A. Ritter

very cool Willem!
does it feel "better" to shoot?
what do you notice are the significant differences?
