Some serious hooks there. I wonder what it would do if shot through a speedtester from a shooting machine with arrow 9 grains pr  pound bow weight?

My kinda bow!  Really nice to see someone making a one-piece recurve.  Love the handle (I would have made it shorter, but that's me), not to mention the whole dark look.

So you like the dark look???
I'v made them from 56" to 64"--I think I like 58" the most.
Thanks guy's

Looking at the full draw string angle you should be able to easily shorten the length which would increase performance.

I basically made it to draw to 32", I think it will go more ;)
Thanks

If you fear failure, you will never try ! But never except it!!

I like the bend on that one bro!
And a very interesting limb shape (when unstrung).
Care to share some input on it?

KenH

Max -- heck yeah I like the Dark Look. 

32" draw?  You an orangutan?  :laughing:   Personally I'd like that bow 48" to 52" length  -- when you find the time, of course :biglaugh:

What is it you want to know?
the hook is a 2" Radius, It's reflexed 9"

Looks like it doesn't have any deflex- how does it effect the draw?
How's the FDC?

The power wedge (new word) is 3* deflexed

Fllem--It's not that hard you just have to no how to do it.
I use a recurve stringer, I put a piece of tape on the belly to hold one end in the belly grove, next you squint your eyes and sphincter muscle and pull like hell.
