What are your chronograph readings? I couldn't read them from the video. Exceptional workmanship on the bows!

Nice bows!
My only critism would be that you need to draw them further!

Nice looking bows...  I couldn't see the chrono but just from looking the ELB looked faster?

Both bows look very nice. I especially like the angular bow.  If you could draw 36" you would really get the extra energy from the sinew and more speed but the speed is good as it is.

  How did you put in the angular section on the hickory bow?

Although I'm partial to English longbows these days I really like your angular hickory bow.  It looks very much like an Assyian/Egyptian composite bow.  Oh yeah, the background music on your video was very cool.  Thanks for sharing.

Excellent as usual. I've wanted to make an angular selfbow since seeing a photo of one in a book. You're inspiring even more!
