pretty cool siyahs. i had wondered if a pyramid design would lend itself to the construction of something similar, figured maybe in the least the outer tips would need to be left a bit thicker and then tillered later as it would seem to have alot of leverage at the base of them, although thinking about it they would really only  work the same as static recurves.

Very Neat.  Thanks for the pics Ken.  I know you only had a dozen shots to experience it but was there much hand shock?

Nate i thought while building it that there would be significant hand shock but when i started shooting i didnt notice any in comparison to most of the bows i shot

Isn't it funny sometimes when theory meets the pavement it doesn't always hold up.  Can't wait your next siyah project.
