Thanks again for all the kind comments, gents

I built a few bows with brush nocks (see pic below for reference) and invariably get the same question about hand shock with those bows as I have with this one. You would be very surprised with the performance of this bow...I know I was. Those levers may fool you (just as brush nocks often fool people) into assuming there must be bone-jarring shock upon release. IF I use a proper arrow (i.e. not too light) and a properly aligned draw/release, it's as smooth as butter. I found that when I go below 8 gpp in arrow weight, hand shock suddenly appeared. I found the same when I got tired and lazy, letting my alignment go to pot. However, the latter two scenarios happen on almost all of my bows.
As I was constructing it, I did some geometric calculations and found that the levers contain LESS wood than if I had finished the bow along a traditional pyramid side and back profile. That one got me thinking!

Could they be thinner? Absolutely yes! But man, are they narrow! As such, I left some meat there just in case I have one of those "oops" moments in the woods
Oh, and as a secret...this one started with a 60/40 ratio between the limbs and levers...until the accident.

We won't talk about that, though!
Thanks again for the comments and critique, all.
