  Danny, you are correct, just place the back of your bow against a wall and see how far your handle is from the wall. Reflex and recurves are combined.

Measuring as Steve pointed out, Id start with no less than 6-7" on this bow. It will lose well over a third, and still look great unbraced.

And......the center 1/3 of the right limb is stiff.. ;)

That bow looks like a stunner.
My self and a few others would definitely be interested in Osage for the UK. I put up a post a while back but there didnt seem to be many takers.

We do measure all the backward bends and add them up but it is better to actually look at your bending limb area and see how much reflex it has on its own to really get a better picture of what sort of work that area is doing.
