I have never seen an FG recurve flip the string off,  but your bow is Organic. Well done.  (SH)

Thanks, all.  The process of shooting in continues. 
-DC - I'm not finished shaping yet. I will definitely reduce the statics more as I shoot it. Wood is Osage.

Side note- this is my first full Osage stave, and I'm amazed by how little weight it loses during the shoot in process. I'm used to my elm and hickory bows dropping 5lbs after shooting in and being braced for hours at a time (simulating hunting conditions). But this yellow wood doesn't seem to give up any weight.

And now you get it :)
