That's quite an amazing bow. I don't know how you composite guys do it, sometimes it seems hard enough to get a straight limbed wood bow to work!

Ok, I'll ask the stupid question, what are the things tied to the limbs in the first picture?

I'm pretty shure that's used to string the bow Matt

Alright, I'm calling you out on this one.  You take steroids don't you?!  There are some clear indications that performance enhancing substances are at play here.  No mortal can make bows like this!  (Simply fantastic!!! )

That full draw is just amazing!  Sorry to hear about the beetles but truly a wonderful work of art, nonetheless.

thanks fellows . i think i like the korean bow as much as the turkish bows,, shoots really good,and flat.. tillering one of these is a little more tricky than some of the others,,trying to keep the upper part of the limb from over working can give you a few problems,, this one came out better than the last one i built,,, gaur the beetles  were here from some feathers someone gave me , so they moved from the feathers to a couple of my horn bows , luckly i examined the bow when i did , or they might have eaten all the way through the horn, it would have been a total loss.. matt.s , the contaptions  you see are limb formers , used to initially to shape the limbs during the shaping of the bow limbs and to also  string the bow and maintain the shape .. the koreans call them(dogigae) in turkish  bow building they are called tepeliks.

Boy James you better build a one way trap like a fly trap (think funnel into a box) and try to get rid of those things before they get into your horn supply and sinew.   :o
