Well I made it back from the farmland shoot, and the response to this bow was unreal, everyone that saw or shot it was amazed, I didn't shoot it much the first couple of days due to some back issues that made walking and pulling arrows very hard, but when it let up I shot the stuffing out of it and boy am I a happy camper, this bow never lost a spec of weight or speed even after being left strung all day long, I am amazed, this is definately the best performing natural limb bow I have ever had the pleasure to shoot, and when I did finally unstring it it didn't lose any of the original limb profile... and one other amazing thing I noticed.... I set it down next to #1, which is my first elk risered glass lam bow, which was made on the form that I still use for all my bows, and the unstrung limb profiles were exactly the same as my own design, my only thought when I saw thiis was.... unbelievable!, James I truly look forward to our collaborations in the future, and I hope that I can make it down around hunting season to meet you in person and spend some time talking bows and maybe even hunting a furry critter or two if we have time,lol....thanks my friend, you have made a dream come true!
I did run into a couple questions which kind of left me speechless when asked...."What kind of bow is this?"........all I could think of to say was that it's a natural limbed elk risered longbow.....Then ..."what catagory would this be in".........my response..."I have no Idea"..and no one else did either........So I have to ask......James..anybody...Have any Ideas as to what we should call this design?.....or what catagory it is?
