Super nice bow, Johannes. I like the profiles unbraced, braced, drawn. Very good work.

Really nice job all the way around and as already echoed, I bet it is a screamer. Danny

And that's EXACTLY what I call a short bow. Its short, but highly functional still. Excellent job.

V cool bow... we can see the draw weight in your forearm muscles.
I particularly like the white fluffty bits ... but then I'm a cat ::)

Thank you everybody for your kind words!
 as for the bow, there are two things I learned on this bow especially
1.) those fur strips really quiet the bow down without slowing it down like string silencers, I couldn't believe it how quiet it got ;D
2.) Sinew and osage in the right dimensions with sinew free tips are really enjoyable to shoot it's like pulling a heavy rubberband!

I have to say that I get inspired a lot on this page and I see many,many great bows, that urge me to build new ones and I'm very thankful for that.

so thank you all for your feedback  ! ;)
