Just finished this one out. My third glass lam bow, but my first hybrid. I started building glass bows for Kyle and Art, so they could save some money instead of buying expensive bows. FIrst two were straight bows, but it was only a matter of time before I finally built one of these bad boys.
It's 66" ntn, 55# at 28", maple lams and a maple/walnut riser (glued up by Kyle and Art). Very smooth and fast, there were only minor issues while building and the bow was still built and finished in about three days. First bow of this style, had no idea where the weight was going to end up. Came in perfect for a hunting bow for Art.
This bow shoots like a dream. Now to build one at ~65# at my draw to compare it to my selfbows and to have a back up hunting weapon. I have to say though, that despite the high opinion many have of glass bows compared to selfbows, some of the light tipped straight selfbows I've been building recently give even this radical design a real run for its money. For hunting, nothing's given up with a good selfbow. I jsut have to get a couple selfbows done for hunting that don't decide to blow up on me
