non-traditional trad bow.

ive had some with little twist but easy enough to heat and reset them again.

sounds like a good method.    so you adjust the siyah on the limb?  I wouuld imagine adjusting the limb might work also, but I would be inclined to get the limb pulling with as little twist as possible before working the siyah

maybe it's easier to adjust limb twist with bamboo that it is with other woods?

I wouuld imagine adjusting the limb might work also, but I would be inclined to get the limb pulling with as little twist as possible before working the siyah

maybe it's easier to adjust limb twist with bamboo that it is with other woods? (Yes I find that the bamboo is easier to keep from twisting as it’s super stable and rigid in its current form.  As long as you get thickness taper sorted out and equal on both edges for thickness consistency your golden.

heres a few more photos of the new one all wrapped up and now waiting to fully dry up before shooting again.  as discussed earlier with willie its very important to get those siyahs straight and inline with each other.  thanks for looking.

did some speed testing on this bow today and had some slower speeds due to the level of humidity today.  we had rain earlier today and i fugure this played a role on speeds.  I may retest on a different day.  Ill post a few videos here of me shooting.  I had my daughter filming and the video got cut short and didnt show the speeds! arg.  I redid the video to capture some speeds.  all of my bows were 10-15fps slower today compared to the other day.   


Heres a few videos
