Cool Yumi bow!  Why do you have such thick tip underlays. Seems that would add excessive tip weight.

@Pat B: the wood i used for syahs is very light, it's lighter than bamboo.

@mullet: shoots very well, i just test it in 2-3 meters, here it's snowing now so i have to wait till i can shoot at a normal distance. and has like 17kg I think, I'll measure it andl post the weight.

That is a very impressive bow. I dont know much about Yumis, but want to learn more. Can you give us some details about how you designed and built it?
