How much reflex is there, and how much did you start with? How much returns after unbraced and sitting for awhile? Knowing your design, and seeing this, id say you have a VERY strong performance bow right there.

2-3/4 now 1-1/2 but it might be a bit heavier than fifty pounds. Can’t tell Steve that just yet . 😁Arvin

70” hedge. Sleek I can’t shoot it but it’s been to 28” fifteen or so times. I have high hopes for it. 2-3/4 ,7/8, 1-1/2 sleek

 70" are smooth but they do have a price to pay for being that way. They carry the extra limb weight. If your not shooting flight they are purty easy on the fingers for shooting all day.

Yer getting the 2x4 grip going too I see. keeping the weight in the middle. It's catchy and after this year (2021) at TO yer going to see more and more. I can hear the screaming already.

Nice one.  At 70" it should be good for a 30" draw

It looks like it will have great cast, and the new grip is nice as well.  Have you tried making one with quite a bit of reflex in the entire limb?  It would be good to compare the two designs.  Marc has made many bows that are highly reflexed and super performers...   :OK

Marc I agree with the 30” . It might take more set so maybe start at 28 and go longer draw and check for set as we go. Arvin

The force draw from 27-28 “weight didn’t change much. Could the longer bow have flat spot at 27-28” or is set accruing?  Arvin
