Wow That's a combo for some heavy bending.  To me it looks like you might be able to get a bit more draw length out of it, if you get the handle section bending a little more.

Background is very irritating, but I believe to see less bend in the left limb and a beginning of a hinge left at mid limb. And yes, I think more bend in the handle would make the bow's life easier...
Undoubtedly an incredible arc!

Wow, nice, that's almost a semi circle! :o
So does this show Maple is better in tension than Ash?

No, it shows that Ash collapses under Maple and stresses the back less.
