Beautifull bow, but, I think the bamboo makes it three Lams. ;)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

how do you feel about its abilities as a belly lamination?  especially prepared that way.  take lots of abuse?

Friend of mine here in Ireland has a bow by James Parker (Robustus) which is boo backed and boo bellied (right now I'm unsure of the total make-up of it).  It's incredibly light in physical weight, very smooth to draw and though I've not shot an arrow from it yet, my friend Jim says it shoots very nicely!  I'm heading over to him in a couple of hours so I'll twist his arm into letting me shoot off a few from it ;)

Can't go wrong with one of. James parker's bows...very talented bowyer.

Have shot these bamboo belied bows thousands of times without issue...in my opinion you are much more likely to pull splinter on backing than Having issue with belly.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback.
