Now to finish it up. Oh 29oz.

See at the ends of your working limbs you could remove the shoulders. Basically make the taper from working/fade/non working longer. The width 'fade' can be concave. It won't affect the bend. The outer limbs can also be made triangluar, narrow on the back, wide on the belly side. Both things to remove limb weight where its not needed.
Nice bow

One more shinyed up.

Looks good, you knocked that out fast.

Nice bow Arvin.
I have been following with interest your recent explorations of different designs designs. Maybe with a different arrow this bow could have the cast of the others?   Can you comment on any set taken when tillering this bow?  On your recurved and reflexed examples you lost a little? perhaps this straight bow is a bit more overbuilt?

Looks like a Rhodesian goat crossbow Arvin.

Willie I took a bit of set at mid limb . I think bownara was right about the necking down being to sharp if I understood him correctly. Looks like that could have bent just a hair more at that transition.got a 175fps thru crono though. No shock. So ya it’s a good shooter. Thanks for looking guys. Arvin

Shawn I never heard of such a thing. I’d ask for a pic but I guess I’m supposed to just look at my bow and I would know. Arvin

I was thinking the same thing. Arvin moves crazy fast on his bows.

Arvin, can you post limb width, lever length and widths/thicknesses for us? I agree with bownarra (I'm sure that's a relief for him...  ) that your width transitions could be much less abrupt. I also think trapping the levers is a good plan to lose some weight. Just keep the back width the same as it is at the nocks and carry that all the way to the width transition, with a full depth taper to the belly side at the width it is now.

I’m not impressed with this design. I prefer the pyramid a bit better. Arvin

I am curious why you have come to this conclusion.  I know you have made a wagon load of pyramids, but is this the first molly you have made recently?

If you have a chance to take some full draw pics, it would be interesting to compare the bends of the two

You've mastered the pyramid, but not the others.  Yet.

Maybe do a pyramid with the long, skinny levers for tips.

That's not a pyramid anymore.  A blend of the two is a sound idea and a little closer to the original idea though.
