 I need to know this too.

I roughly calculate 38.9 ft pounds of stored energy in a 43 pound bow. Is that good?

 if you're taking pics and posting them off your phone you can download a free app called Photo & picture resizer. you take your picture and then open the app. at the top of the screen will be a button with four arrows going in from the corners. From there you can resize them and check the size. very easy to do once you figure it out. When you post click on attachments and choose from your photosizer gallery. I can take a picture and post it on primitive archer and less than a couple of minutes. I've been using it for a while and none of my pictures have disappeared off this website

What size do they need to be?

Here it as at full draw on my "tree"  I am bowing to the tiller gods praying.

[sleek]

Hopefully this is bigger at 40%....

Braced

Full draw.... I have since taken the left limb tip and straightened it out flat to match the one on the right. That changed the tiller slightly but i think for the better.

[sleek]

Unbraced fresh off the caul and limbs cut and spliced into a strong reflex at the handle.

On this design, I believe I can get some fast bows and honestly I am pushing for 200fps from them with 10 gpp arrow. Next one I build will have more limb reflex distributed through the limb, maybe 2 inches. The idea being at brace the reflex is still visible rather than pulled flat as this bow is. I am not certain if I will do siyahs or not. They are a pain to make.

Hopes with this bow are high however. Hope to have it shooting tonight.

Full draw with siyahs complete

Impressive looking bow.  Sure interested to see what kind of performance you get out of it.

  Sleek, what is the final draw weight on this bow? How much set did it take? With designs like this you have to measure the weight losses due to compression, the limbs are thin and the tension will hide most of the set. Your braced tension after a couple of full draw pulls will tell most of the story. I too am curious as to what you get out of it.
