Beautiful bow. The finishing looks amazing.  Those colors really pop.  Nice to see those bends without horn.  Can we get a full draw pic?

I like that. Is it actually faster with a heavier arrow or is that a misprint?

Beautifully constructed and finished bow.Outstanding resilience from your bamboo from the over draw.Did you do any tempering to your bamboo?I see you like details a little & testing also on this bow and bows you've posted in the past.Would it be possible to see a fdc graph on this bow also?I'm sure it's a pleasant bow to shoot.

This is great, 32" draw out of such a bow is everything I'd want. Very nice shape. Would like to see full draw to 32" as well

The lighter arrow was with 29" draw, the heavier with 32"

Man that's awesome. Those Korean bows fascinate me. Like the others I'd love to see that full draw! (SH)

I was thinking that the 29" was the arrow length.
