Damn this is a nice looking bow!
If I remember currectly, this is not the first time you use cosip as a belly wood.
What is this wood? does it have another name? I can`t find any info about it....

Very nice bow.  I can tell it is fast. 

It looks a lot like this bow I made many years ago.  I never chronographed this bow but I knew it was fast

Quite the curves on that one. Looks good. Reminds me of the handle on Egyptian composite bows.

That bow is smokin'! Very well executed.
I've also found that what most people would call a lot of deflex is a good thing especially when your outer limbs look like that.
Impressive stuff.
2 strands of fastflight are enough for that draw weight, of course it goes without saying that you need to pad out the loops. You could certainly squeeze more speed out of it if you made an 'extreme' string. Most fastflight type string materials break at around 60 -70lbs per strand. Your bow only needs a 120# breaking strain string to be safe.

Yep, I made a four strand just to be sure I could put in the Flemish twist.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

     That does look hot, I don't know much about your release but it's possible a trained release might get even a higher speed. Your bow projects out at about 184 fps with 10 grains. Mark, myself and I am sure several others have had specimens a bit faster but 184 is excellent for any bow. With the profile that bow has I wouldn't be surprised at 190 fps.

    I have been lobbying the flight board to push for a 35# class, facinating division as wood flight bows can carry designs at 35# that are much more difficult at 50# and higher. Your welcome t put your two cents worth in on this issue.
