Looks like it wants to become a bow. How wide are the tips in these pics and what will they end up at?

They are 5/8th now, going down to 1/2" or a tad narrower.

How much reflex do you loose after its shot in a while?

[Roy from Pa]

It will end up with about 1.5" reflex.

So do you have to radius the ramps on those risers. are they prone to popping off . Fill me in. There may come a time That I want to build one of these. 

[Roy from Pa]

They will be rounded off and tapered from limb to grip area.

No problem with them popping off.

Those pictures are on down the line.

After the photobucket debacle I stopped using the online storage sites.  For phone you can resize for the net on your phone and still keep the original size too.

I took the photo below,  resized and posted it in here while in the middle of writing the post.  Took less than a minute.

I did nt know you were that short, Nice train

Gonna substitute hickory for bamboo.
What kind of thickness should I be looking for?
Should it be tapered?

[Roy from Pa]

1/8th thick.

Tapered would be nice but not necessary.

Thank you!
